When starting a business you may get to the point when you ask, "Now, how the hell do I sell this stuff." One way is a lot, and I mean a lot, of foot work ( a must, I think). Another is press. That could, potentially, do much of the foot work for you.
One of the drawbacks is bad press, but press is press. The plus side is good, or better yet, GREAT press. In wine press is a huge advantage, but can be a little tricky. It has been mentioned that a score of 90 looks heaps better than an 89. Why is that? A 90 point score is only, on a 100 pt scale, 1% better. I'm sure many of us have fallen victim to this.
That being said, Romililly Pinot, our first release, received a score of 93 in The Pinot Report. So, we could give a damn about 89's because we didn't get one (that"s a joke). We, really, couldn't be too much happier. We are very excited. It now gives us a little edge when putting ourselves in front of people. Wine Spectator has asked to rate our wine, but we figure since we have under 20 cases left and seem to be doing just fine, we will hold off for now..... maybe next year?
