Continuing to improve the OWC Experience
The OWC is open with the wine community and the content is as open as we can get it. One thing we want to make clear - this site is for wine business and as such we generally take a pretty hard look at anyone who isn't using the network for business.
We want you to network freely and make the connections that move your business forward. Some SPAM abuse has come across the network in an automated fashion but I want everyone to rest assured we're working on clearing out that…

90-second Video tutorial on posting OWC content to Twitter
We're excited to let you know a little more about our recent Twitter integration! On OWC, we've cultivated a spirit of sharing, and one of the ways we do that is on Twitter. When we see something we think the rest of the world might find interesting, we send out a tweet with a link. We like sharing things on Twitter so much that we've now integrated it directly into OWC so that you can share OWC content you or anyone creates auto-magically. See something you want to share with the… Continue Posted on March 3, 2010 at 11:23am

Today that is Social Media, tomorrow? Well, I don't know but I plan on knowing before anyone else!

China Market
Our company is opening channels into China for exporting wine. We are able to tap an unique market for distribution but also delving into the regular 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 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
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.
If anyone with bottled and labeled wine in this price range and is interested in exporting to China don't hesitate to contact me. Also, if you just have general questions,…

Your vision is a perfect blend of what you love and what you know! You are an inspiration to relative web2.0 newbies like me (only a few years under my belt). I don't sleep yet, but I have heard that after year 10 you get a little shut eye. True? keep up the great work! Cheers! mary alice
Love your profile!Im new to twitter and not sure yet but want to get that list of Twitters following you to spread the word of good wines in sonoma county that i represent and have tried many for i live here in wine country and some are family and some are friends that own the wineries.I also need to get small wineries into a program i found that will help with their sales.Your input would be great!
Just a quick question about Twitter - is there a thread on here that explains Twitter, lists screennames, answers questions, etc? I just signed up over there and am trying to make heads or tails of it.

Thanks dear Joel and OWC for your fantastic work in helping professionals in wine trade. I will be happy to meet you one day and share some glasses with you..
One of my poems directly to you and the ones that you love...
Abundance and true love is your birth right,
you could be black, yellow or white...
God loves you with infinite care,
God bless you anywhere...
Abundance for the flowers, for the rivers, for the sky...
Just love, just give and dont ask why?
Life is natural like me and you my friend,
Your touch my heart, you touch my land.
Abundance for the ones that are in great need,
Just give, just give and plant one seed...
Life is a rainbow that you like to see;
you have the honey because God made the small bee...
Kindest Regards.
Victor Marques
