We've been out flogging our wines for, what, a week now. So far the response has been gratifying. "Very good portfolio." "Well-chosen." "Come in any time, we want to taste everything you have." "I'll take 11 cases of this and 11 of that and 3 of this one just for me."
A great reception at high-quality hand-sell shops. Lots of interest from white-tablecloth restaurants. Jeff's killing it. The most expensive wine currently in is already on allocation -- who would have thought that in these difficult times?
This is why I haven't slept all night. Too excited about what's going on. Planning the next day and the next. I've never done anything that I've loved as much. Jeff either. We love this, we love our wines and our producers and, of course, anybody else who loves them.
A small start, step by step. But a very good start. All this planning and laying of groundwork is going to pay off.
Really happy to hear it's going so well. How exciting!

La differenza è nell'amore che provi per i tuoi vini e per chi li produce, e credimi questo alla fine vince sul mero commercio, è il qualcosa in più che fa della DS una squadra vincente! E vai mitico Terry!
