Cheryl Wolhar, WineSpace Creator Oldest Champagne in the World

I am not sure that I would like Champagne that tastes like truffles... I prefer fruit flavors such as apples, or pears, or melon in my champagne. What about you? I mean, I like truffles but in my champagne? It is a personal preference but no, I don't think so. In my pasta or my potatoes YES! Anyway, this is supposed to be the oldest champagne in the world. A "addictive" bottle of 1825 Perrier-Jouet was opened at a ceremony attended by 12 of the world's top wine… Continue

Cheryl Wolhar, WineSpace Creator BUY WINE NOT STOCKS!

Forget watching the Stock Market – Buying Wine is More Fun! This might be a great time to try some of those cult wines that have been inaccessible for most of us regular folks. As reported by Wine Business Monthly – Cult Wines at Mass Market Prices, it seems the economy might do something good for us wine lovers after all, i.e., make some of those cult wines both more available and [somewhat] mo… Continue

Cheryl Wolhar, WineSpace Creator Why you should start a branded online community for your Winery

Cheryl Wolhar, WineSpace Creator WANTED: Wineries – Early Adopters Need Only Apply!

Jo Diaz’s blog “Some truths behind the wine Industry and Social Media” is generating some interesting discussion. I was most interested in the gap she describes between the winery decision makers (owners and principles) and the social media technologists (us). Jo does a great job explaining her view of the current mindset of some in the wine industry in regards to social media and discusses the huge distance she sees between the two. Based on t… Continue

Cheryl Wolhar, WineSpace Creator Mt. Eden Wine Bottling Party

I was recently invited to join a wine making co-op that buys grapes each year and makes and bottles their own Cabernet and Pinot Noir. I was able to buy in on the 2008 vintage which was harvested, crushed and barreled earlier in the year. Because I am now part of the co-op, I was invited to join them for their bottling party where the wine from 2006 was bottled. I am excited to join this group to learn more about wine making and of course, my favorite thing, wine drinking! The day started at 9:… Continue

Cheryl Wolhar, WineSpace Creator Wineries! Don't start a blog... start a Community!

I read this post today where Paul Boutin says that blogs are dead and I agree, sort of... If you are considering starting a new blog now, the wrong thing to do would be to create one of those static boring blogs that everyone else has. He mentions sites like Flickr, Facebook and Twitter as better options. I say, YES use Flickr, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter by all means, but use them to drive people to the new comm… Continue

Cheryl Wolhar, WineSpace Creator Change the World or Go Home

I was struck by this post by Tim Elliott regarding the challenge wineries have in marketing their terrior story and making it unique.

Cheryl Wolhar, WineSpace Creator Friends don’t let friends drink bad wine

What could be more social than wine? The wine business is inherently suited for social marketing. In fact, most wineries are already experts at social marketing. Social Marketing is what you do every day in your tasting rooms, at your events and in all your interactions with your customers. You are Viral Marketing experts! You already use word of mouth to sell your wines. Viral Marketing is the way most of us learn about wine. That's exactly what happens when you try a new wine at a friend’s pa… Continue

Cheryl Wolhar, WineSpace Creator Social networking and the wine industry

When I first started working with Donati Family Vineyard I was challenged with finding new and more effective ways to communicate and build meaningful relationships with consumers in the wine industry; which was a new industry for me. I had experience with the value of Web 2.0 and social networks from my time at Yahoo and wanted to see how it could relate to another industry. I was very interested in how Web 2.0 might be used to more effectively market wine to consumers. The wine industry tend… Continue
