Our Team

Michael Hutchinson
Michael Hutchinson
Owner

Michael's career has spanned over thirty years working with industry leaders such as Opus One, Clicquot Inc, and Niebaum Coppola. Michael established his expertise in sales, developing a keen understanding of opportunities and the ability to identify trends in a challenging market. He offers non traditional and innovative solutions to achieve great results.

In 2013 we chose to redirect the company's efforts to better serve wineries and warehouses by connecting them to our well known established retail channels, helping both parties achieve success.

Michael is the proud father of two daughters and his interests include riding anything with two wheels, cooking, and fishing.

While Katheryn's background is not in the wine industry, the skills that she gained through earning her Master's in Science in Counseling and then being a professional cyclist for 8 years makes her the perfect domestique for Matadorvino.

Katheryn loves being on her bike (road, mountain or gravel), swimming, hiking with her dog and exploring the world with her partner, Joe.

Customer     Testimonials

  • After 20+ years as the Dir Sales and Marketing Global at Bernardus Winery I must say that Michael @ Matador is one of the best people in the industry to work with. After many many deals over the years--he is always 100% upfront about all the details and follows thru with everything needed to make the relationship flourish. He actually cares about the brands and the people that he deals with which is a rarity these days. From pricing to paperwork to all aspects-- there is never a problem and he is on top of everything from start to finish. And not to forget the payment side of things -- there is never an issue with timely payment as well! That's exactly the type of partners I like to deal with I highly recommend him to anyone in the business!

    Director of Sales - Bernardus Winery

  • Michael was great! He found the right buyers for our brand quickly, and worked closely with us and the buyers to make sure the wine was delivered, and (the best part) we were paid on time and with no issues. He is professional and a delight to work with. I recommend Michael and Matadorvino highly!

  • Michael Hutchinson, A.K.A. The Matador, is one of California's gifts to wine marketing and salesmanship. Michael has an ability to forensically assess the quality of a vineyard/wine offering, make the best deal on behalf of his clients and bring these wines to market in an extremely efficient manner.
