Magrino is now representing French winemaker Château de Pommard in the U.S. The agency will manage media relations, events and profiling for the company. The estate, which has only changed hands five times since its founding in 1726, was bought in 2014 by Michael Baum, a leading Silicon Valley investor and executive. It has been transformed into what the company calls the ultimate wine education destination. Its 49.4-acre, walled vineyard, Clos Marey-Monge, was designated a world heritage protected Climat of Burgundy by UNESCO in 2015. Magrino has also recently added boutique investment firm Invest Hospitality and decorative lighting, furniture and accessories manufacturer Vaughan to its client roster.
