About Napa Technology
WineStation Evolution
Meeting of the Minds
Napa Technology founders Nick Moezidis & Morris Taradalsky combine 30+ years of Silicon Valley smarts with a passion for great wine.
I'll Take a Vino, Please
Identifying the growing demand for wine and the wide open landscape, Napa Technology founders envisioned creating the next Starbucks — for wine.
Opportunity Revealed
They soon discovered there were no well made, cost effective and intelligent systems available in the marketplace to support their new vision.
A New Business Plan
Engaging Apple, Brocade and Sony know-how Napa Technology founders concluded they could design a smarter solution for operators worldwide.
A New Way to Pour
What began in a garage (apparently this is a trend in Silicon Valley) from a gallon milk jug, evolved into a sophisticated dispensing technique. And the Clean-Pour Dispensing Head technology was born.
A New Way to Preserve
From there intellect, vision and ingenuity were coupled with a wine refrigerator (and ample amounts of duct tape) to create the first ever plug and play, temperature controlled, compressor free wine dispensing system.
The Big Debut
Ready for public consumption, the first WineStations are installed at a trio of California locations; Bella Mia Restaurant, Copia Napa Valley and WineStyles.
Going Global
Today…the WineStation serves more than 30 million ounces of wine annually through installations worldwide.
