IL � September 2016 / Newsmaker Alert / Cooper�s
Hawk Winery & Restaurants, a leader in modern casual dining, known
for their award-winning wines, announced today it has reached a significant
milestone in its growth story �the 200,000th member of their Wine Club.
The member count represents the largest wine club in the country, and the
club has become a platform for a new generation of enthusiasts who think
about wine differently than previous generations. Cooper�s Hawk Wine Club
members are not beholden to the traditions of Old World wine, and are eager
to try new blends using fruit from different regions of the world. In addition,
they are a group that is attracted to the stories of the individual winemakers
and wine-growers, and are looking to be part of the conversation that brings
them to life.
�When
we opened our first restaurant in Orland Park nearly eleven years ago,
we could only dream of having created such a large and engaged community
of Wine Cub Members,� says Tim McEnery, Cooper�s Hawk Founder and Chief
Executive Officer. �Today we have nearly 22,000 members in Orland Park
alone, and the group continues to grow. Members at each location have a
special connection, and that sense of belonging is palpable at Wine Club
events across the country.�
The
Cooper�s Hawk Wine Club provides members access to people and places that
shape the food and wine industry with trips to wine regions around the
world and dinners with celebrated culinarians such as Fabio Viviani and
Gail Simmons of BRAVO�s Top Chef. Membership also includes a customizable
monthly wine program, along with a variety of anniversary and birthday
gifts. The company feeds their Wine Club members� desire to try new products
by creating a unique blend from varying origins every single month. The
goal is to expand members� palates and inspire them to learn and grow as
wine enthusiasts. The tasting rooms that front each Cooper�s Hawk restaurant
are a place for Wine Club members to gather to share and explore the nearly
50 varieties of wine that the company offers.
With
a state-of-the-industry winemaking facility at its epicenter, Cooper�s
Hawk blends, ferments and ages wine from some of the best vineyards across
the globe. This approach enables Wine Club members and guests to try classic
domestic varietals, as well as those from countries like Chile, Argentina
and Italy � all at a reasonable price point. Cooper�s Hawk has won over
300 wine awards, including a recent 99-point win for its Lux Pinot Noir
at the Critics Challenge International Wine Competition in San Diego, California.
The winery is also known for their more exotic selections, such as their
Double Gold Ice Wine and their 94-point Gewurztraminer.
�Our
Wine Club members are the heart and soul of the Cooper�s Hawk brand,� says
Tom Koenigsberg, Cooper�s Hawk Chief Marketing Officer. �They are re-defining
the food and wine lifestyle for their generation, and are committed to
forging their own path into that world.�
Cooper�s
Hawk was first opened in Orland Park, Illinois in 2005. Operations have
since expanded to 24 locations throughout Illinois, Indiana, Missouri,
Ohio, Florida, Virginia, and Wisconsin. Five new locations will be opening
through 2017. The company has garnered nearly 400 awards for their wine
from various national and international wine competitions.
