Wondry Wine, a North Texas wine business launched in 2021 by husband and wife team Whitney and Chaz Gates, has landed an investment deal on ABC’s "Shark Tank" with Dallas entrepreneur and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.
The couple appeared on Season 14 of the show, which gives budding entrepreneurs the opportunity to pitch their businesses to the “Shark” investors. They wore shirts that read “Be Bold. Sip Different” as they pitched their “re-imagined, higher-alcohol level, fruit-infused wine collection.”
Cuban was so impressed by their pitch in episode 6, which aired on Nov. 11, that he offered to invest $225,000 for 15% equity in their start-up wine company.
