"Lynette same here! This WBC08 / WBC09 "Lemke" ice breaker discussion split seems to be diffusing the intros. Guess singe I started the 2009 - I'm the de facto WINE-MART "greeter" here."

El Jefe replied to Dennis Grimes Eagles Nest Winery's discussion WBC 09 Pre-conference Introductions / Ice Breaker (Tim Lemke #2) in the group Wine Bloggers' Conference"Indeed. I will pour like the wind (please take that the right way) but I will be available after the speed tasting for further questions and further pouring as long as necessary. Look for me out by the pool. See you all there!"
Liz Lewis replied to Dennis Grimes Eagles Nest Winery's discussion WBC 09 Pre-conference Introductions / Ice Breaker (Tim Lemke #2) in the group Wine Bloggers' Conference"Very long flight. Unfortunately business class out but have upgraded to 'premium economy'. Will be interested in seeing how much different it is from 'ordinary economy'!"

Leah Hennessy said… - Dennis - thanks very much for your thoughtful comments on the Millennier blog.
As we are starting to see, Millennials seem to be approaching wine in a similar way as they approach music. We reach a point where we want something different, something special to us, and we will go out of our way to find the most unique wine that suits us. We WANT them to say a lot about us.
I think boutique wineries like Eagle's Nest have a lot to look forward to as more Millennials drink wine and discover this hunger for individuality. At that point, it's just a matter of getting the right bottle into their hands.

Tom Kisabeth said… - Hey Dennis - We're currently going through a major overhaul on our website that will reflect the most expansive product line around. We hope to be completely up and running for launch just after the first of the year ( fingers crossed, sacrifices to the Glass Gods, etc.,). You can check out our rather archaic site now @
http://www.calglass-pcc.com/catalog/index.htm
I can also send you a PDF of virtually any bottle you have in mind as a start. We have many domestically made "clones" that are more affordable than the Imports, but reflect their more "Premium" style.
Thanks Dennis.

- Hi Dennis! 'Wanted to introduce myself to you as I travel down in your neck of the woods ( Temecula ) quite often. California Glass delivers quite a bit of wine and beer glass all through the SoCal corridor to such Customers as South Coast Winery and Resort, Stuart, Leonesse,
Hart, and Stone Brewing. We often "piggy-back" to save everyone on freight, large or small volume we aim to please. We offer all types of glass from lab sample bottles up to 27 liters and everything in between. Welcome to the OWC and please don't hesitate to drop me a line if I can help! ~Tom~

Looking for low end and high end bottles. State-side or abroad. I would be happy to answer any questions via…
Looking to buy cheap wine for China
