Bringing The Bakas

Friday, August 27th, 2010
 

In the ongoing “rotating absence” theme, it’s Christophe’s turn to be missing this week!

Rick Bakas, the social media master of St. Supery, joins our boys to talk about Cabernet Day (September 2nd). He also gets into somewhat of a philosophical discussion about how wineries (and indeed any business) can really succeed with social media.

But that’s not all folks! Kaz and Randy bring more of that Useless Information™ that you’ve come to expect from your favorite wine talk show!

What Three Guys Do Without A Guest

Friday, August 20th, 2010
 

The best radio producer in the world (or at least in the Kaz Studios) can’t win them all. When the guest we thought we were going to have can’t make it, it’s up to Kaz, Randy and X to come up with something interesting to talk about. They apparently did a good job!

X brings a couple bottles of “mystery wine” that Kaz and Randy try to identify, and they discuss several upcoming events and recent news items. Useless information, you say? You got that right, but it’s still the most entertaining hour of wine radio you’ll find!

Liquid Raisins

Friday, August 13th, 2010
 

Kaz, Randy and X enjoy a brief “gangs-all-here” moment, then it’s off to the usual banter! Tom Wark comes to visit and talks about the latest with H.R. 5034 as well as the International Pinot Noir Celebration, finishing with his take on where the best place to situate a social media effort.

X provides the usual levity by wearing his fall colors wardrobe and bringing us some liquid raisins to drink! What’s liquid raisin, you ask? Well, you’ll have to listen (or watch) to find out!

Sweet Like Fine Muscadine Wine

Sunday, August 8th, 2010
 

Randy is out for the week, and Kaz and X forge ahead! When they’re not cracking wise about tasting room dress codes (or lack thereof), they’re tasting wine! They taste both a dry and sweet Muscadine wine, and even take a moment to chat about the Muscadine grape itself. There’s even a plug for Ben Simons of Vinotology to help achieve escape velocity from the bustling metropolis of Lubbock, Texas.

Eric Luse of Eric Ross Winery returns to have another go at enduring the withering interview stylings of Kaz and X!

The Eighth Streeters

Friday, July 30th, 2010
 

Kaz, Randy and (the famous Mr.) X invite the folks from the Eighth Street Wineries commune to come talk about their upcoming August 7th Open House down on 8th Street East in the Vineburg/Schellville area east of the town of Sonoma. Scott Rich from Talisman Cellars, Mike Lancaster from Tin Barn Vineyards and Katy Wilson from Kamen Estate Wines jaw with the boys about their wines and their wineries, all while being treated to the usual colorful environment that Wine Biz Radio brings!

And as a special bonus, California Wine Hikes is doing *another* Zozi deal starting August 2! Just visit the Zozi San Jose deal page to get another shot at a smokin’ deal on a great wine country experience!

S-Bombs Everywhere

Friday, July 23rd, 2010
 

Kaz goes the distance to ensure that Boy gets to learn how to edit out bad words from our program! And watch Randy lose his cool, it’s a rare episode!

Amy Gardner, wine industry recruiter with WineTalent.net joins the boys over Skype to discuss her corner of the industry, with some really cool information for anybody who is either looking to land that plum wine industry job, or who’s looking to hire that wine industry job!

Then as an added surprise, Eric Luse of Eric Ross Winery in Glen Ellen shows up to chat about wine and photography and complimenting us on our taste in radio studios!

Make sure to pick up Russ Beebe‘s Zozi deal this week (San Francisco area) of 51% off one of his awesome wine hikes! Better yet, tell all your friends!
