January 3, 2014'Shark Tank' Twice: Copa Di Vino appears again on ABC showBy Stuart WatsonJames Martin took no money and sold no share of his Copa Di Vino wine enterprise during an unprecedented two appearances on ABC’s hit reality show “Shark Tank.” But the visibility of those appearances helped the entrepreneur from The Dalles chomp a chunk out of the latent appetite for quality wines in single-serving containers.
The investment generated by that exposure has helped Copa Di Vino triple capacity and move the production operation into a remodeled building at the Sunshine Mill site.
He says the response to Copa Di Vino around the country has been fantastic, from major sports venues, to Vegas hotels serving pedestrians who want to sip while they stroll the Strip.
Beyond his own wines, Martin is eager to introduce his packaging to other Northwest wineries.
As one such example, he cites his own Copa Di Vino Pinot Grigio, which won Best in Show White Wine at the Northwest Food & Wine Festival last November.
