Randy Hall commented on Rick Bakas's group Recipes - Wine and Food Pairing"I believe the admins quash it as quickly as it shows up; it just goes to show that Ning is not impenetrable to the idiotic schemes of spammers.
The sad part of it is that if one, just one person in OWC clicks their link, it has made the effort of…"

Tim Elliot's Social Media for Wineries Summary
I pondered for a while about how best to start this blog post...
"Tim Elliot, grandmaster of Wine 2.0 and godfather of wine podcasting, held what I refer to as the 'Sermon on the Mount' for wineries learning to embrace social media..."
Nah, too religious. Some folks might not get the reference or (worse) might read too much into the reference.
"Tim Elliot's social media seminars in Napa and Healdsburg were awesome!"
Too obvious, and probably… Continue

Promoting the OWC
So, today I had the pleasure of interviewing Joel Vincent, (blogger and founder of OpenWineConsortium) on today's Wine Biz Radio (which I'm awaiting the radio station to release the recording so I can podcast it for all you lovely listeners out there). Joel was articulate and driven, which made it clear to me why he's leading the charge for the OWC and getting the word out.

The intersection of technology and winery operations...
When the time comes to put together what someone would call a modern, state-of-the-art winery, why is it that paper is still the method of choice to capture operational measurements (that is, the data always associated with winemaking)? From notes jotted down about the ripeness of fruit on vineyards you contract with, or the actual tonnage received from a grower, to which tanks are getting what fruit and/or juice, to which barrels are storing what wine under which barrel program. The amount of… Continue

Frank Vigil said… - Hi Randy, Well it was about time you saw my profile on your site. Not quite a vineyard owner yet. Just putting together our business plan. Other issues to worry about such as a water moritorium in the county and deciding what types of grapes to grow. I think Zin's are a little over done. I wish Markham Wineries would have continued making their muscats but they stop doing that a few years ago. I did manage to purchase the second to the last case of muscat back then. I should have bought both. Miss that wine. You should try out the wines around here. There are some pretty awsome places here. I've been working over in Santa Rosa these days. Working for Sutter Health. Training Doctors. I'll have to stop by sometime. Regards to Jen and the kids.

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.
