I would like to invite you to participate in an online survey to gather information concerning a magazine that will cover Maryland wines and the Maryland wine industry. The purpose of this magazine is to inform the Maryland wine drinker  and those who are interested in Maryland wines, Maryland wineries,  wine trails, restaurants and wine shops that feature Maryland wines, as well as  Maryland wine clubs/guilds.   This survey just collects general information and there will be NO attempts to sell the publication or publicize it - - since it does not YET exist!    Please take a few moments to fill out the survey and forward this survey on to other wine enthusiasts.      http://quesyrahsyrahpublishing.questionpro.com/

Hello Everyone!

I am offering an opportunity to do business in the wine promotion.

Recently, I launched a web based service offering exporters an opportunity to promote their domains and products to more than 1200 russian importers and distributors!
This service is a newsletter type service that is sent on a regular basis to our 1200 contacts.

I'm looking for individuals or firms which strong interest in wine to promote this service in their country (wine producers and merchants).

No investment involved - only time and motivation.
Financial support for advertising.
Attractive commission rate on sales.

For more information on this service, go check our website (page in English):
www.apfr.ru/services and us an email at marketing at apfr.ru

Looking forward to cooperate with you!

Just launched our first wine, Pech Merle.... Bottle selection, cork selection, capsule selection, logo design, label design.... so much goes into producing a beautiful bottle of wine. So much researched required to make it perfect... Wish I had found this site to network with earlier! We're moving on to the website now, researching POS and backend systems... Would love feedback or referrals!

Hi everybody. I'm an Italian guy and i'm starting a small ecommerce about Italian organic wine. As you all may know, in Italy wine is very popular, but the organic one is not so shared as in the rest of Europe for example. Let me know what you think about this.

Bulk Riesling and Gewurztraminer wine for sale.

I have over 5,000 gallons of 08 Riesling Wine made by Pacific Rim and also over 4,000 gallons of Gewurztraminer. This is premium white wine made in Washington state. I was wondering if anyone could steer me in the right direction of any virtual wineries who might be interested in these wines. I have more information on these wines and can provide samples if needed.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Ok - here it is!!!

http://www.areallygoodejob.com/video-view.aspx?vid=pbcUt2-Z4Ac

This is the job I am trying to get in California at a winery called Murphy Goode. The job is temporary - only 6 months. But it is the opportunity of a lifetime. If I can get this, when I get back I should easily be able to work at any winery around here. That is what I would like to do, reinvent myself and move into the wine industry. Please vote! If you could share this with your friends so they could vote as well, I would really appreciate it. I have a feeling that the popular vote will carry a lot of weight on who gets selected for the top 50. Then there will be another round to select the top 10 who go out to California (all expenses paid) for a week for the final interview stage where they select the lucky person.

It took me a while to figure out what the popular vote was actually for, then it hit me. The popular vote determines how well you really network. So, here is where you come in. Please forward this email to your entire network, friends, family, etc. and ask them to vote for me as well. This would mean so much to me and I sincerely appreciate your helping! Woluldn't this be the coolest job ever????

Thank you so much!!!

China Market

High volume is mandatory, but we have an order for a smaller exploratory shipment. If you have a slate of bottles that you think would work well, please contact me if your wineries want to take part.

Looking to buy cheap wine for China

Hello!

My company is based out of California and specializes in exporting and distributing wine to China.

 

We are currently looking for any Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot wines that fall in the $1-4/bottle price range for a client that wants 1 small order and one much larger bulk order.
