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.

Selling wine on the web is complicated. Meet COO Andrew Walleck

Selling wine on the web is complicated. Meet COO Andrew Walleck

Internet wine sales is a complicated business. Andrew Walleck is in the thick of it.

Andrew came to the wine business with no knowledge of wine but understands internet marketing and logistics. We met on the golf course playing with a round with other wine industry professionals. We had such a great conversation that I thought we would continue on the podcast. He is at a company called Wine Access and works with previous guest, Master of Wine Vanessa Conlin. Salut.
