Kaz and Randy have Gretchen Neuman from the Illinois Wine Consumers Coalition on the line to talk about how badly the Illinois Wine Consumers were screwed by their own legislators (HB 429). And Sophie-Bear the Sommelier brings the thunder with her wine selection. Listen and learn, padawans!
Don’t forget, the 2009 Wine Bloggers Conference is scheduled earlier than last year (July 2009)! Register before all 250 seats are taken!
Randy forgets to hit “record” on the computer for the first segment of this week’s show, so you get the low-fi Talkshoe edition for about 14 minutes! Lucky you!
Despite that, Kaz and Randy have a great conversation with Garry Tan of Posterous (think “preposterous” without the “pre”). And the peanut gallery soldiers on!
Kaz and Randy reach into the grab bag of stuff to talk about, rapid-fire bringing the local Sonoma wine scene and news stuffs. Also, the first discussion of Randy’s social media experiment (a la VinTank) and what he’s going to do to drag Kaz into the social networking scene! It’s a link-tastic week for Wine Biz Radio!
Kaz and Randy have Paul Mabray (former CEO of Inertia Beverage Group) come into the studio to talk about his new gig, VinTank! Joining via Talkshoe is Joel Vincent (founder of OpenWine Consortium) who has also joined the VinTank crew. Paul reveals the first industry experiment the digital think tank is launching, and some other tidbits as well. Well worth the listen!
It’s 2009, and how better to start it off than with Kaz and Randy! Kaz lends his amazing hurl-tastic sound effects!
Learn about some ways to ease your poor self-induced alcohol withdrawal symptoms with Benjamin Arnold, licensed herbalist (and acupuncturist, dontchaknow), giving real useful advice and opinion as counterpoint to Kaz and Randy’s pseudo-remedies.
Congrats also to Ben for retaking the lead in the “Somewhat Official Wine Biz Radio #1 Fan Contest”!
