Survive until you thrive | Be resilient and resolute in adversity | Demonstrate tenacity and grit amid hardship | Find hope and clarity in confusion | Persist and prevail ~ until the pendulum swings and success beckons
I have a question or two for those of you on this platform who are involved in the wine business. These questions are not location dependent, so if you're in Chile or Austria, Napa Valley or Niagara on the Lake, please feel free to answer. Nor are they task-specific: I would love to hear from all manner of wine-related disciplines ~ winery owners, winemakers, distributors, exporters, importers, cellar masters, wine stewards, reviewers, retailers, beverage managers, restaurateurs, perhaps even a few consumer connoisseurs and aficionados. For maximum honesty, I encourage you to send me your responses via direct message, but, if you feel comfortable putting your thoughts in the comments, please do so. Should you answer privately, I promise to keep your responses confidential. May I also ask that you forward this post to some of your colleagues or associates in the wine industry to allow them the opportunity to express their thoughts too? Enough preamble; here are the two wine-related questions. 1. What keeps you up and awake at night? Is there something troubling in the business that you see or perceive, either now or in the future? 2. What stresses you out, personally, monetarily, professionally, about the wine business, something for which you see no resolution? As a counterweight to any weighty responses, please leave us some light, bright words about everything that's great in your world of wine in the comments below.

𝗚𝗢𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹, 𝗮 𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 [𝟏/𝟒] : 𝐎𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐮𝐩𝐨𝐧 𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐚… 🍷 In the early 2000s, Yellow Tail shook up the crowded Californian wine market. From 25,000 wine cases in 2001 to 25 million by 2005, their story has lessons for all industries, including legal services. Imagine being overwhelmed by hundreds of wine choices. Yellow Tail simplified the process: 🔸 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠: Bright yellow label with a kangaroo. 🔸 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠: Positioned between cheap and premium wines. 🔸 𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Only two varieties—Shiraz and Chardonnay. 🔸 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: Screw caps for easy access. 🔸 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: Fruity taste, supermarket availability. 🔸 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Word-of-mouth and social media buzz. Using the Blue Ocean Strategy, Yellow Tail created a new wine category, appealing to non-wine drinkers and capturing 8% of the market. 🚀 At GOlegal, we're inspired by this. Instead of competing in the “red ocean” of traditional legal services, we're creating a “blue ocean” of value innovation—offering unique, simplified, and customer-centric legal solutions. Stay tuned for how we're revolutionizing the legal industry in our next posts. 💬 #GOlegal #LegalInnovation #LegalServices #Innovation #BlueOceanStrategy #ReneeMauborgne #WChanKim #YellowTail #BusinessModelInnovation #BusinessStrategy #BusinessGrowth #CustomerCentric

#Black wine professionals face the same business challenges (lack of capital, distribution, time/staffing) as most #wineries but with the added issues of bias and #racism. I've just downloaded the 2023 #TerroirNoir Report compiled by Monique Bell, PhD and am digging into the data she's collected from Black #winemakers and #wineindustry professionals. Excerpted from the below Boston Globe article by Ellen Bhang: “... unless you are part of an underrepresented group or have had experiences of being that outsider or other, it may be challenging for you to believe that some of these injustices are actually occurring,” Bell explains. Please be thoughtful and intentional about from where you are purchasing your wine. Does your favorite winery have any BIPOC staff? Do your favorite restaurants have any wines from Black winemakers on their list? Have you ever visited a black-owned winery? Steps you can take: 🍷 Download Dr. Bell's report from her website (which will increase your knowledge and support a small business in one move): https://www.wynebelle.com/ ✅ Sign up for the Sip Consciously Directory: https://lnkd.in/gHevhhNk ❓ Question your own #DEI acumen and do better (we can all do better): https://lnkd.in/gvyUyAzj #washingtonwine #womeninwine #data #blackownedbusiness #smallbusiness #BIPOC #blackwinemakers https://lnkd.in/g-B6Dp-Y

Introducing a New Winery To Your Sales Team: 1 Key to a Successful Launch I've introduced dozens of new wineries into the Chicago market at Candid Wines. Success doesn't depend on tech-sheets. "Leave-behinds" get left behind. Knowing the basics is important, but a successful launch depends on establishing a human connection. Always make it personal. Cast a Wide Net: Ten wine professionals will have ten reasons to identify with a wine. Specificity is a dangerous starting point. The country of origin will be relevant to some, while a winemaking technique will appeal to others. Start with the big picture, no matter how basic it seems. The broader the introduction, the more of your team members will be able to find a seat on this new bus. Discuss and Document First Impressions: A new lineup is only new once. Give team members the space to taste, and to savor the wines as wine lovers first. Ask what foods come to mind and with whom they might want to share each bottle. Prompt them to write, with a pen and paper, the answers to each of these questions. Each now has a physical record of their initial reaction that can be referenced for years to come. Look For One True Thing: Applying this idea from Hemingway is the hardest part. "All you have to do is write one true sentence...and then go on from there". Strip away everything external to the wine. Find something about the wine that is as true in Tokyo as it is in Tampa Bay. This takes practice and requires focus, but oh man, when you get your whole team looking for a single element of truth in a wine, a successful launch is all but guaranteed.
