Wine Talks with Paul K.
Wine Talks with Paul K.
All you knew about wine is about to bust wide open….we are going to talk about what really happens in the wine business and I’m taking no prisoners... I am your host Paul Kalemkiarian and as the 2nd generation owner of the Original Wine of the Month Club, I sold 17,000,000 bottles of wine and tasted somewhere north of 100,000 wines. And what I learned is that wine is about the story; the story can't be that I bought this wine on the internet for 5 bucks. Join me as we peel back the real stories behind the wine you are tasting. How can Groupon sell 12 bottles for $60 and the wines be good? How do you start a winery anyway and lose money? And is a screwcap really better than a cork? Sometimes I have to pick a wine at the store by the label and the price...and I get screwed. Subscribe now and prepare to be enlightened.

Before the Spectator there was Pattersons. Meet the couple that saved it.

Before the Spectator there was Pattersons. Meet the couple that saved it.

Meredith May saw an opportunity and she grabbed. One tough young lady.

Back in the day, the only resource we had in the wine trade was Pattersons. A journal of all things beverage, it did not keep up with the times. Enter Meredith May, a savvy business woman who knew nothing of wine but knew publishing to save and turn the fledging periodical into a must have trade journal. The Somm Journal and the Tasting Panel are two growing trade magazines...hear why.
