An answer from your own blog:

Perhaps a “wee interview” with the fabulous Hugh MacLeod is in order. Greenwich, Connecticut isn’t a bad place to start a booze buzz.
If you have a decent layover in NYC when you come to the states in August, you might be able to do that!
(I also coordinate: birthdays, weddings, bat mitzvahs, and reincarnations.)
Best wishes! I look forward to seeing what you really do!

Very good post by Guy Kawasaki — forwarded it to our “PR department” (i.e. my co-worker responsible for PR). I think she’ll be able to commiserate with a few — especially this one:
“9. Clients get upset when the media coverage is not 100% accurate or not the kind of coverage that they wanted. One of my former clients said, “That TV segment on me was only a minute long.” When I explained that length of time was impressive in TV Land, she refused to understand.”
It’s incredible how clients think PR = free advertising! It’s not. PR is both better and worse.
My personal bone with PR is that it’s a lot less FUN than a good ad.

Hugh,
Funny, I just emailed Gary Vaynerchuk of tv.winelibrary.com in New Jersey, USA this week asking if he could get his hands on Stormhoek and maybe do an episode featuring Stormhoek wines. I even suggested having you guy make an appearance on an episode to tell your story about Stormhoek’s Web 2.0 approach to wine making. Gary replied to my email yesterday and said that if he can get Stormhoek in New Jersey, he’ll do it! Seeing that Stormhoek and Wine Library (who recently acquired corkd.com) having a HUGE interest in Web 2.0, I thought that this would be some good PR for you guys.
What do you think??

I got an idea.
Write a blog post about it!
