Yountville, Napa Valley, August 2018 —- Mallory Uran McEligot has been promoted to the position of Director of Membership and Events at Silver Trident Winery, according to an announcement by Bob Binder, the winery’s founder and proprietor.

“We’re pleased to recognize Mallory’s contribution to our team and add to her responsibilities as we attract more customers to our wines,” he added. “She has been an instrumental part of our team, helping to grow our membership base and foster valuable relationships with all guests,” he adds.

Most recently, Mallory has been the winery’s Membership & Industry Relations Manager. She joined Silver Trident in August 2015. “Working for Silver Trident Winery has been an absolute pleasure and a great learning experience, navigating our unique space combining both wine and Ralph Lauren Home Decor. My knowledge base for products other than wine has grown immensely and is something I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to add to my repertoire,” Mallory comments.

A fifth generation Napan, Mallory lives with her husband in Napa. She writes a blog, VineLiving, https://www.vine-living.com, an insider’s guide to Napa Valley, and runs an industry group she founded in 2014 called BANG (By Appointment Networking Group). In February, Mallory was awarded the 2018 Rising Wine Star Award for Marketer of the Year by the San Francisco-based Luxury Marketing Council in recognition of her leadership in founding BANG. BANG’s mission has been to partner highly-selective by-appointment wineries with other comparable businesses (including concierges, chauffeurs and caterers), allowing them to provide elevated services to their clientele.
