At Copper Peak Logistics, our strength comes not just from the work we do, but from the people who show up every day committed to excellence. This Women’s History Month, we are proud to recognize four women whose leadership has helped shape Copper Peak into the company it is today: Stacey Heuer, Merilee Anderson, Katiria “Kay” Rodriguez, and Heidi Grooms. Together, these four leaders represent 64 years of dedication working for the Lane Family. Their collective experience, leadership styles, and commitment to meaningful relationships have been instrumental in building the culture, standards, and reputation that define Copper Peak. While each of them leads in different areas of the organization, they share a common belief: great logistics isn’t just about moving product. It’s about people, partnerships, and the responsibility of representing our winery partners with care and precision. Leadership Rooted in Experience and Passion Each of these women brings

by Katiria RodriguezThere’s something magical about the moment a bottle of wine is opened. The gentle pop of the cork, the swirl of liquid in a glass, and the anticipation of the first sip — it’s an experience that transcends simply drinking a beverage. It’s a sensory journey, rich with history, craftsmanship, and passion. But behind that moment is an intricate process that begins long before the bottle reaches a customer’s hands. As a fulfillment partner to the wine industry, I’ve come to realize that we’re not just shipping wine — we’re delivering an experience. Crafting the Perfect Delivery Experience Our fulfillment approach goes beyond simply shipping packages—we focus on creating exceptional experiences. It all begins with our dedicated team, who take the time to understand each winery’s distinct expectations to deliver the perfect consumer experience.

Harvest is around the corner and wineries are preparing for the arrival of bins full to brimming with ripe grapes ready to crush, de-stem and press. That means it’s time to make sure all your winemaking supplies will be at hand when the crush swings into full gear. In a typical year, you would check your supplies — everything from yeast to sulfur dioxide —and call your suppliers for understocked items. But nothing has been normal since the COVID-19 pandemic started disrupting business as usual. Many supply chains are stressed, resulting in supply shortages, shipping delays, and lack of inventory. “At Scott Labs, we’ve seen a huge influx of winery customers scrambling for filters,” says Maria Peterson, Scott Labs’ Technical Filtration Expert. “And for something as critical as final filtration before bottling, it’s essential to ensure you have what you need, when you need it, without compromising quality.” As a result, winemaker

For me, preparing for a new way of working reinforced just how important good relationships were—with your workforce, your leadership team, your vendors, and your clients.

What We Learned About Ourselves Many of our employees shared things they learned about themselves and the way they achieve work-life balance: “I can juggle! Although it may not be with balls or bowling pins, I’ve done a pretty good job juggling working remotely 60% of the time, homeschooling a 5th grader, all while taking care of a 1-year-old.” —Stacey Heuer, VP of Operations “What I learned about m
