FYI, Stormhoek Pinotage is now available in Western North Carolina. A very nice red that I can enjoy everyday.

Firstly, did the owners tell you what Stormhoek means?
Seoncdly, what do you think of South African wine in general as well as Stormhoek?
I am from South Africa and I have been personally impressed with the way South African wine has improved over the past ten years. What do you think?
Tweet me at ericavH.
Thanks and I look forward to your response!

Did you say RECKON?
I’ll be keeping my eye on this one…
I grew up in the middle of nowhere, so will be interesting to see how far nowhere has come in twenty years.
I like it.

A fine experiment Hugh…imaginable customer interaction is drive-by bulletholes. Another layer to the art.

Standing out from the crowd is always a good thing unless you have an extra set of eyes (but then again my mother use to swear she did).
I find that my most creative ads always come from having no money to spend! lol
I like its amateurish feel, works for me!

Great idea, a little bit no country for old men, but still original enough…

I like it! So, don’t hate me!
Kind of a Brokeback Mountain Meets Mail-Pouch advertising…
Very do-able!
May I suggest for the next billboard, “Stormhoek” The South African Wine that compliments Texas Bean Cuisine.

I like it, even the purposeful(?) amatureishness. But the real Hugh bears almost no relation to the Hugh of my imagination.

4 miles on the Alpine side of Marfa; wouldn’t that give you a glimpse of the Marfa Lights? Perhaps inexplicable natural or supernatural phenomena will help this promotional campaign go viral.

Good grief Hugh, I can’t bear the suspense, it’s as bad as ‘24’ only thankfully without the clock ticking and the quadruple cliffhangers. Maybe you could work that in, with a couple of action-packed dive dive rolls a la Jack Bauer.
Will be tuning in next time for the rest of the story. Merci beaucoup!

I live in the part of Canada that consumes the most wine in the country (about 20 liters per person per year). I wonder how it would sell here. The government controls commercial distribution here, so the liquor stores (gov’t owned)have a very limited selection. If you want something different, you have to go through a private dealer.
If you can help me get a bottle of Stormhoek, I’ll trade you a before and after video.
