road trip?


[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. I’m thin­king of brin­ging a video camera along. I’m thin­king of asking Jef­fro to come with me, at least for part of it.
I’m just thin­king…

    My sister-in-law lives in Round Rock, Tera­vista right off the 35, and loves wine. Like a lot of wine-lovers, she’s a, well, wine-lover, but fun and not shy. Don’t know your plans, but on your way up to Dallas to see Brian Clark, maybe Round Rock could fit in somehow.

    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?

    The music was the per­fect bed.
