I just got back from the Aragon region, whose wineries are very eager to export more (do you have an opinion of their DOs?). Anyway I'll be sending you a longer email about your wine club and how we might grow it....

Dear Wendy - thank you for your reply. I have been thinking about starting my own business as a wine educator/ consultant to the staff that sells the wine in restaurants, bars and functions etc. Your idea for a marketing person for your wines here is SO exciting! I would like to apply for that position. Can you give me a better job description? I am multi-lingual, work in tourism, and am a certified wine educator! I also have a sales background and am a confident presenter.
I went to Jerez in 1989 and met the Royal Spanish horses and rode with some of the "Ginetes" from the Royal Spanish Riding School. Of course I sampled the Sherry and toured the bodegas... I would love to go there again sometime. It was more than wonderful. Thanks, must go to work now and educate tourists about Australian wine!!!
Cheers, Essey in the Barossa

Looking to buy cheap wine for China

Hello!

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

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,…
