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.

Meet Justine Belle. They are setting the “winery” structure on its ear and can very well change the concept of a winery forever.

This is one driven and intelligent individual. Fighting through racism, sexism, and bureaucracy. Justine has prevailed in creating a new organizational pro forma for the wine business. This is no easy task and is faced with unknowns.   ...

Having vast experience in hospitality (currently the Maitre d’hôtel at Comodo in Gramercy Park), Justine took to the supplier side of our business but in a completely unconventional way. Using a cooperative plan to form their company, they have potentially created an inclusive business model that could be duplicated worldwide.
Probably too hard to explain in the text, but tune in and listen to their passion and groundbreaking ideas.
