[Marketing. It’s a dirty job, but someone’s gotta do it…]
With all the activity over IGNORE EVERYBODY and the prints these last few months, I was getting frustrated that I wasn’t spending more time on the Stormhoek project.
It’s hard to do everything.…
The wine is selling well here in Alpine, Texas. It’s a small town of six thousand, word is easy to spread if you’re doing something interesting. But I have my eyes set on bigger horizons.
Like I said before, I’m just going to focus the marketing efforts on the State of Texas. Doing the whole country is just WAY too complicated, not to mention expensive.
I’ve asked our distributors to send me a list of all the stores, bars and restaurants that they cover in Texas. I’m thinking of going on a road trip. I’m thinking of visiting some of these places.

Let me know when you make it to Fort Worth, I’ll buy a bottle and split it with you!
In the video you looked like you were on a serious mission. With that look I’m sure it won’t be long before the State of Texas knows all about Stormhoek wine. Where can I buy a bottle in Sacramento, California?
Go Hugh, Go!
The music was the perfect bed.
Is that picture taken in Marathon?
I love big bend.
I know a distributor in Round Rock.
