It would seem that my distinction as the only wine blogger to make the move into the wine industry is not unprecedented as Jeff from the excellent blog Good Grape Wine Company has just started a gig with Inertia Beverage Group. Hearty congratulations are in order and I’m sure a cork or two were pulled down there in Indiana where Jeff calls home (not sure why us Midwest guys are nailing these gigs, but I’m not complaining).
Speaking of my day job, my work with Goosecross Cellars has turned to more of a part time gig so I’m looking around for some more work. If you know (or are) a winery who wants to sell more wine direct to consumer using the internet, drop me a line. I’m also looking for another tech marketing job in Minneapolis, but hoping I might be able to string together enough wine gigs to make ends meet. I’ll keep you posted either way…

I guess working in the vineyard, and making wine doesn’t count? I remember hanging with you at my place in HBG as you were courting that gig.
Dude!
As much as I love Matt Kramer any other smart wine writer, are they the biz, or are the winemakers the biz?
Granted, I’m more of a podcaster/winemaker than a blogger/marketer, but when street cred is all you got…

I stand corrected
Good luck with the harvest of Pinot 2.0, Alan!
We love talent no matter where they live. Jeff is killer addition to our team. You are doing a great job as well.
