Paul Mabray, the newly minted Chief Strategy Officer of Inertia Beverage Group in Napa, comes back to the studio after a long time away from us, and missing all his wisdom teeth to boot. Along with Kaz and Randy, he talks about IBG’s new CEO Ted Jansen, as well as the (long-delayed-but-still-free-of-charge) ReThink Compliance tool, and the upcoming Direct Sales Symposium at COPIA this July.

Kaz and Randy also take a call from Spain(!) as Ryan Opaz of Catavino gives the love to his wine blogging brethren and OpenWine Consortium cohorts. The upcoming Wine Bloggers Conference this October gets another mention, and Twitter provides the questions from the audience!

One of the most interactive Wine Biz Radio episodes you’ll ever hear, good listening!

Kaz and Randy invite Marshall Sontag and Brittany Dean of WineQ.com (some call it the “Netflix of Wine”) into the studio to talk up their service, and between the ADHD field-of-effect that Kaz creates with his very presence, they let their worst kept secret out: create-your-own wine club that you can invite your friends to join! Think “RSS of wine” and you start to understand.

Joel Vincent of OpenWine Consortium calls in to give props to WineQ as well as chat about the transition of his first blog/social site, Wine Life Today and the future of the OWC.

They also take a call from the Texas Wine and Grapegrowers Association about their upcoming Lone Star International Wine Competition.

That, and Brittany calls herself a “wine slut” on the air. If you’re Brittany’s parents, we’re deeply sorry.

The best hour of wine radio is back, enjoy!
