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.

There is no standard path to get into the wine busines. Ask 100 people and you will get 100 answers on landing on the passioln it takes to make, market or sell wine. Garys story is one for the books.

When you have seen as many changes in the wine business as Gary has, you learn a 6th sense about people, wine, business and life. Gary might have a 7th sense.

Wisdom doesnt come cheap and innovation in any sector of business can be risky. The key is recognizing the opporutinty, crafring a quick response and exectuing that response efficiently.

When most of us during COVID enjoyed a nice 30-40% bump in sales, learn how Gary doubled sales volume in his New Jersey stores through customer centric marketing and delivery.

We could have spoken for another hour and still not covered all the subjects ahead of us.

Have a listen to the owner of Garys Wine Marketplace in Saint Helena.
