BIO: NATALI SCHLOTTIG, C.S.W.
Dreyfus Ashby Regional Sales Manager
GA, NC, SC, WV
Natali Schlottig, C.S.W. attended Marshall University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. While working as a critical care nurse at MUSC and Trident Hospitals in Charleston, SC, Natali often assisted with events in the Carolinas promoting her family’s winery in Napa Valley. In 2004, Natali retired her stethoscope and scrubs after falling in love with the wine business.
Natali started in the wine distribution business with Grapevine Distributors representing small, family owned wineries in the Carolinas. After six years with Grapevine Distributors, Natali spent the next five years with Fine Wine Trading Company as the Western North Carolina and Triad sales manager. After a brief move to Germany and the birth of her child, Kellen, Natali returned to work with Grapevine Distributors.
It was at Grapevine Distributors 20 years ago, that Natali met the Drouhin family and became enamored with their wines. In February 2019, Natali became the Regional Sales Manager for Dreyfus, Ashby & Co, which is the import company owned by the Joseph Drouhin family. Dreyfus Ashby represents family-owned wineries from around the world. Natali covers Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and West Virginia for Dreyfus, Ashby & Co.

Will Hoppes Bio
I spent my summers growing up working the bottling line, racking, and blending and taking time off of school in the Fall to help out with harvest. Some of my earliest memories are riding around in the vineyards around Tri-Cities with my dad and our black lab, Buster. I didn’t realize how lucky I was at the time being one of the few kids who got to grow up in the Washington wine industry.
In the Spring of 2016 I quit my desk job to become a winemaker (I think I promised to never say those words during a particularly hot Summer while I was a teenager working the bottling line). My interest in wine and the pull of working at the winery alongside my dad was getting too strong. The timing couldn’t be better heading back to Red Mountain for Fidélitas’ 20th vintage to start my apprenticeship. I’m excited to see where we take Fidélitas and Red Mountain into the next two decades and beyond.
