Demeine Estates serves and supports a dynamic and growing portfolio of the Lawrence family and Managing Partner, Carlton McCoy Jr. owned fine wine estates and import supplier partners. The collection includes Heitz Cellar, Burgess, Stony Hill, Brendel, Ink Grade, and Champagne Legras & Haas.

Prior to RNDC, Philana led new business development at Young’s Market Company for prospect management and new supplier engagement. She has held several leadership roles including General Manager for Young’s Hawaii – a move that would make her the industry’s first non-family, female executive to lead statewide sales, marketing, and operations for a major alcohol distributor in the United States. Evolving consumer buying habits remains a focus for Philana, where her critical thinking and industry insight is valued. The fast-paced and evolving nature of the wine industry is well-suited for Philana’s dynamic personality and work ethic, rooted in a quest for collaboration.
