A partnership is more than shared goals. It’s a shared vision. This is how we aligned with Mezepoli, Patron and Melrose Arch beyond the obvious.   On the first of September we curated the Italian Grand Prix screening at Melrose Arch, hosted by Patron and Mezepoli. It was more than just a screening.    The event was strategically designed to drive cocktail sales, with Mezepoli supplying the food and perfectly pairing their culinary offerings with Patron-crafted cocktails. It was a seamless example of how collaboration can amplify results—bringing a world-renowned spirit to life in a way that speaks directly to what people love and enjoy.   This is the power of collaboration. The outcome is a richer, more tailored experience that serves both parties—enhancing brand visibility while boosting sales. It’s in these spaces, where different strengths come together, that innovation thrives, and real connections are made.

This is the final installment of our three-part case study series focusing on a client of ours that hosts high-impact virtual wine tastings quarterly. The final thing they do really well is they give their attendees a profound takeaway. They bring in a thought leader who presents market research. This offers additional takeaways for attendees plus an incentive for an easy yes to drive attendance. They also use our personalized follow-up strategy. We create a customized video, and they send it out the morning after the engagement. We also take guest notes for the sales team to craft a personalized touch. #ClientRelationships #ClientRetention #VirtualEvents

On #NationalRumDay, let's raise a glass to the spirit of resilience and innovation embodied by Bacardi. 🦇 Founded in 1862, Bacardi started as a small distillery in Cuba, facing immense challenges, from earthquakes to exile. But through determination and a commitment to quality, Bacardi didn't just survive—it thrived, becoming a global icon of #rum. Much like Bacardi's journey, our paths in life and business are often fraught with obstacles. Yet, it's how we rise above them, with perseverance and a vision for the future, that defines our success. Cheers to overcoming challenges and crafting a legacy that lasts!

As the year comes to a close, many of us are in a reflective mood, pondering the highlights of 2023 and planning to build on those successes in 2024. I’ve also been remembering my favorite wines of the year, and that got me thinking… Just like savoring a fine wine, our careers and lives are enriched by the nuances and surprises that come our way. It's not always about the "best" moments, or the ones that look prettiest from the outside; it's about those unexpected joys that caught you by surprise and helped you see things from a different angle. I’m remembering the Riesling from Cole Ranch that challenged my assumptions about the grape, the region, and natural winemaking. The aged Bordeaux blend that’s shockingly still jumping out of the glass with youthful vigor. Even the Crémant that – but for its price – I’d swear was Grand Cru Champagne. In the world of wine, it's the unique approaches and bold choices that often leave a lasting impression. Similarly, in my career, it's been the diverse collaborations, the risks taken, and the gradual growth that have often led to the happiest parts of the journey. So, as we raise our glasses to bid farewell to another year, let's celebrate not just the expected achievements but also the delightful surprises and the moments that encouraged us to step out of our comfort zones. Here's to embracing the unanticipated and welcoming the opportunities that 2024 will undoubtedly bring our way! What unexpected wines or moments are YOU remembering in the final days of the year? #Reflections #CareerMilestones #WineWisdom ******************** Like this post?

I share about wines and a company that I truly love. Let’s not over-complicate it . . . that’s exactly what I do. If you drink wine, you have to monetize it. You just have to! If you enjoy wine and/or coffee, let’s chat. This might be exactly what you’ve been looking for - whether it’s an add-on to your W-2, a new career, or simply a fun hobby. It’s $79 to launch your own e-commerce business ($99 with a wine set). . . but the community, the wine and coffee education, the leadership training, and the fact that there’s no cap on our paychecks is PRICELESS! If you want more (of course you want more, we all do), let’s talk. You can add a 1099 and get started today! #smellthecork #winebusiness #sidehustle #extraincome #wine  #scoutandcellar #beyondthebottle

Just landed back from the International Pizza Expo in Vegas, and wow, what a ride! 🍕 Every year, this event surprises me, but this time, the depth of innovation and the collective push towards sustainability really stood out. It was inspiring to hear how we, as an industry, are evolving to protect our planet and resources. Here’s what got me thinking: ✅Sustainability it’s our future. We’re committed to doing our part at Buvetti, and it was inspiring to see the industry moving in the same direction. 🌱 ✅ The global flavour profiles are incredible. It’s like a world tour. It’s exciting to think about how we can incorporate these tastes into our products especially given the amazing multicultural food scene Australia is blessed with. 🌍 ✅ Tech innovations are reshaping the way we think, cook and sell. Smart ovens, AI in the kitchen... it’s fascinating and something we’re exploring more and more. 🤖 ✅ Healthier options are in demand, and we’re listening. It was validating to know we are ahead of the pack when it comes to our gluten free and sourdough range. We never rest and always moving forward, watch this space! It’s an exciting time to be in the pizza business, and I’m pumped for what’s ahead. #PizzaExpo2024 #Sustainability #Innovation #GlobalFlavours #Buvetti
