WHY WINERIES ARE TEAMING UP WITH CRUISE LINES Wine brands are having to find new ways to reach audiences in a fragmented media landscape, including on cruise ships. Kathleen Willcox finds out more. How do get people to buy what you’re selling? The question is as old as time (or, perhaps more to the point here, clocks). Just a generation ago, brands looking to reach a lot of people at once could place an ad in a hit TV show or a glossy mag targeted at their desired demographic. Zip, presto, and the money would roll in. Ah, those were innocent times—the concept of appointment television today is un-applicable in a wildly fractured media landscape filled with networks, streamers, social media channels, podcasts and more with cult, but rarely large, followings. Today, finding a large captive audience undistracted by whatever’s happening on their phones is more challenging than ever.

Great article covering two things I like, Wine and more importantly the growth of the B Corp Movement and how it moves the dial in creating an economic model that makes environmental, economic and social sense.
While organic and biodynamic certifications have long been valued in the winery scene, there's been a glaring blind spot when it comes to how workers are treated. But that’s changing. From Oregon to Bordeaux, wineries around the world are recognizing the importance of social sustainability, seeking #BCorp Certification to signal their commitment to people and the planet. “B Corp seemed the most complete and exhaustive commitment to our environmental and social goals.” - Saskia D., Chief Executive. In his latest article for The New York Times, Eric Asimov explores how these three B Corp certified wineries — Les Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite, Sokol Blosser Winery and Spottswoode Estate Vineyard & Winery — are reshaping the narrative of what it means to produce exceptional wines responsibly. 🍷🍇 Uncork the full story here: https://nyti.ms/3x0mN8o Sarah Schwimmer Alex Sokol Blosser Charlotte Levitt Felton Road Wines Limited Champagne Bollinger Champagne Charles Heidsieck Avignonesi Benjamin Bridge Ridgeview Wine Estate Rathfinny Wine Estate Chehalem Winery Stoller Family Estate Soter Vineyards

🍇Napa Valley's Influence on California Wine Culture🍷 Over 50 years, Napa Valley has transformed California's wine reputation from a bulk jug producer to a source for some of the world's most coveted wines. Much of this perceived elevation stems from Napa's pioneering vision. Seeking to create California wines that could rival French classics, Napa wineries embraced estate bottling, single-vineyard sourcing, varietal labeling, and sustainable practices early on. Demand for Napa Cabernets and Chardonnays proved California could make serious wines, paving the way for emerging regions. Just as important was Napa's early support of wine tourists. Visitors were drawn to the area by its beautiful farms, many tourist activities, and food and wine events. Many people have discovered California wine through Napa Valley, a must-see location. This active community of wine lovers in the United States raised standards for tasting room reviews nationwide. Napa's successful plan for wine tourism helped wine regions all over the world. Through hard work and intelligent advertising, Napa Valley forever changed how people think about California wine. The focus on excellence in the area brought in top talent and money, which raised standards across the country. 🍇

✨Coach ✨Wellness Consultant ✨ 🎙️ Host ✨ Best-Selling Author ✨Helping professionals and entrepreneurs get unstuck, create balance, and design lives they love.
Marketing matters - a lot. Yesterday we took a wine tour from Porto to the Douro Valley. This valley is one of the oldest wine regions, dating back to 1756, when it was well known for Port. But this region has only been a tourism destination for about two decades. Why? We were surprised at how big this region is. Our guide told us that there are 19k certified wineries in the region. He had other stats that blew my mind because I didn’t know much about this region before. Then we had two great tastings. One was from an 8th generation wine maker whose ancestor saved the vines in this region from phylloxera by grafting the roots with American vines. No pesticides are used to protect from bugs, instead they have olive trees strategically planted all over which are what the bugs gravitate to instead. Cork trees are planted to make corks and make up a large percentage of total wine corks in the world. None of the wineries we visited proactively tried to sell their wines. So different from Napa and Sonoma. If you’re a wine fan, or interested in the history of wine making, I highly recommend visiting the Douro Valley. #livethewidth #travel #marketingmatters

I see so many posts on #socialmedia claiming how hard it is it is to find good people in the hospitality industry, yet when I ask if they tried doing an education program and offering assistance with career trajectory, there is silence. People want to grow. People want to learn. people want #opportunity as a result of hard work. https://www.somm.site #wine #education #hospitality #training #hospitalitymanagement #restaurant #hospitalityindustry #management #innovation #marketing #articles

I have worked with B Corps and B Lab for about 15 years and one of my takeaways from this great article published by The New York Times and written by Eric Asimov is how competition among wineries has accelerated adoption of and adherence to the movement in that industry. The dynamic is familiar: when one industry player becomes certified, the pressure on their competitors ramps up thanks to healthy competition. And becoming certified is not an exercise of being 'dusted and done.' Once the values of stakeholder capitalism take root, companies thrive on continual improvement.

"When I run into people not using Tripleseat, I bend their ear and tell them it will change their life. I meet with a lot of venues here in Northern California, and I tell them what a timesaver it has been, how helpful it has been with reporting, how it has helped us bring so much more revenue in, how it helps us communicate with clients - it’s such a valuable tool, and I can say with confidence that our event program would not be where it is without Tripleseat." - Johanna Holm, Director of Marketing and Events at Elusa Winery Locals and travelers alike visit Napa Valley’s Elusa Winery to experience its incredible wines through wine tastings, facility tours, and private events. Elusa Winery has grown its private event offerings – hosting wine dinners, receptions, and private tastings - for social and corporate clientele. Since implementing Tripleseat to streamline the event management process, Elusa Winery has tripled its annual private event revenue, cementing private events as a substantial part of its business.
