What you want to get from participating in FohBohWine?
My grandfather tells me his parents came to America in 1912. Their name was spelled 'Bacchus' but they decided to Americanize the spelling to 'Bakas'. He laughs when I tell him I'm in the wine business now. So in a way, this OWC is like a second home hanging out with fellow wine folk. So far this site has been very useful!
About Me:
Worked at NIKE for 8 years creating and managing brands. Moved to Colorado and got into the wine biz working for one of the "big 3" distributors. Learned quite a bit about marketing wine. By combining the brand management experience at NIKE and the training at Charmer-Sunbelt, it's led to a new career in finding new ways to hit the target marketing wine to consumers.

Hey Rick,

Interested to read about your new affiliation. I will give it a shot for a tasting event I'm doing next month (then write it up on my WineOnlineSolutions.com blog) Are you coming out to Cali for any of the industry events in January?

I knew we'd met before. And even though Ben seldom makes any sense these days, I'm looking forward to getting together in the near future.

No more presence on OWC Rick? Probably too busy twittering. Is Culination still truckin'?

Will you be in Steamboat? If so, enjoy! I have never been there - however, we did have a great bar in Austin, TX called Steamboat that I used to go to. Susan Block

Hi Rick,

I find it very coincidental that I just pulled a trend report from Departures Magazine 2005 that talked about Nikeid and then I get a welcome from you.
Furthermore, the Aspen Food and Wine Festival has been on my radar to attend for several years.
Even more bazaar is a few months ago I was considering the name Bacchus for my products.

Looking forward to meeting you someday.

Susan Block

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,…
