Thanks!
An appealing new idea for charity wine auctions
At 6pm tonight, this year's Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance Auction will begin. It's not a swanky black-tie gala with big-name chefs under the stars. It's not preceded by a tasting where 300 of local society's leading lights are wined and dined (mostly wined) in the hopes of loosening their ...
A nice piece of writing, Mary. And an excellent subject. Thanks!
Heart of the Phoenix
On my birthday, I had the pleasure of having dinner with two goddesses. Both women had recently suffered a profound tragedy. As we were all three grieving their loss, naturally the conversation turned to personal healing, and I realize now that I was given a peaceful and cosmic gift as I w...
This approach reflects the fact that website visitors come with a goal in mind (and a Back button). The best sites make it clear to their visitors how to reach their goal. Sites that don't make it clear encourage their visitors to click Back.
What Are Your Clients Afraid Of?

This is interesting, but why would I want a widget on my winery web site

Lazy Sunday: Ask the Pinotblogger
Schools in session: Josh Hermsmeyer teaches us what an interesting winery video looks like. Admittedly, "brett" is a somewhat-estoeric subject for a video, but Josh does a great job talking about it. He's a natural in front of the camera, and he tells a good story. Take 4 minutes and 34 se...
