SOKO Distributors
SOKO Distributors is the first black-owned and woman-owned distributor of wine, beer and liquor in California. Founded to be a market disruptor of the oligopoly alcohol industry structure helping underrepresented small, medium and large-scale producers enter and grow their market share across the United States, while leveraging our in-state footprints. We currently serve Delta Airlines at both SFO and LAX airports and 25 Total Wines & More across California.
Wachira Wines is a black-owned, woman owned winery in Alameda County and the culmination of the extraordinary vision and effort of Dr. Chris (Christine) Wachira, the first Kenyan-born, Californian winemaker, distributor, importer, and exporter. As a young immigrant working her way through college, earning her Doctorate, Chris fell in love with the science of winemaking and developed a deep appreciation for the sense of community built from sharing a bottle of wine with complete strangers. Her story is about fighting for equity and the ability to succeed through adversity.
