It's a go! Plonk will be teaming up with Wine Styles


Big news from Atlanta, GA as Plonk has been chosen to be a part of the Wine Styles team.  After 2 days of tasting with clients, management and a distributor, Plonk passed all tests and will soon be available in Georgia.  The second set of great news is that we will be working with a wonderful wine distributor - Atlanta Wholesale Wine which is a part of the National Distributing Company team.  This is a seasoned, professional business that is associated with two of my former employers - Block Distributing in Austin, Texas and Grand Vin in Denver, Colorado.
 
I cannot express how pleased and honored I am to have been chosen to be a part of the Wine Styles/AWW and NDC team. 
 
Big thanks to Michelle Foust for being such a diligent buyer for Wine Styles and to Linda Blakely (aka Wine Diva) for the review on my blog that started the whole process!

Plonk is moving along with a little help from Social Media


I recently got a call from Michelle Foust who is a manager for Wine Styles.  She told me that she had read a review by Linda Blakely (aka The Wine Diva) and was interested in trying Plonk and possibly bringing it in to her store.  All I could think was WOW! How lucky am I!
 
Michelle seems very passionate about finding unique wines and offering them to her clients.  She told me a story about spending several months tracking down a particular wine maker from Italy.  She eventually found him and is now carrying his wine.  Her clients can be proud of the work that she does for them.  Here's a list of upcoming events at her store
 
Anyway, I sent the wine and they will be tasting it today.  Hope all goes well and that we will soon be in the Atlanta market.
 
Also, Michelle made me realize that I needed to get our site up so......... here it is:
 
 
 
Thanks Michelle and Thanks to Wine Styles
