David- Nah- You just got a little fired up ;) Remember, 9x out of 10 Zabka got the chicks, and La Russo got his ass kicked. Cheers!

David, Thank you for taking the time to comment. I am not sure if I could have been any more satirical or silly in the post above, but I was trying to make some humor over the hoopla from last week. I have sincere admiration for the work you, Richard, and Bobby do / have done both on the floor and behind the scenes. Jon is a great writer and voice for wine (CA and beyond). I know you are busting your ass. I just am not sure I could have been any more ridiculous- In a single post I referenced both Cocoon and Kool Keith ;) That's got to trigger something there. Best of luck w/ St. Vincent. I hope to check it out in the future. All the best, Hardy

Image
Does your winery's digital strategy look and taste like this? A digital sales channel should not be centered around a dumping ground where you liquidate wines that you can not sell direct to consumer or via traditional distribution channels. I... Continue reading

Ben- Thank you for the great comment. I hope that you and Lindsay can make a trip this way. I'd love to hang out with both of you. I still have the bee costume (though it is pretty ratty at this stage). But nothing beats a ratty ol' bee! ;) It has been a wild ride from Binford and "them bongos" to here. It I'm sure it will get even weirder. All the best to you and Lindsay!!!
