It is pleasing to see the coverage that Frigid.Cloud is getting for their work in both the Beer, and now Wine industries, especially their partnership with Wine Australia. Significant energy savings and cost reductions, along with increased in productivity, make this service a no-brainer for brewers and vignerons. And, anything that helps with the production of Kaesler Wines 'The Old Bastard' has got to be a good thing! Jassa Amir-Lang Patrick Anderson https://lnkd.in/d22qNjck

Quick question for legal eagles: Does a wine tasting/education business in Miami-Dade County need a liquor license to serve wine in private events at homes and businesses? Details: the business serves wine as part of its course or tasting event, but doesn't sell wine at the events.

Business is about relationships. The first lesson every startup founder learns is that great ideas without the right connections will go nowhere fast. And, if I'm being honest, I've always struggled with relationships. Despite everything I try and the best intentions, my affect doesn't always rub people the right way. That's not the best position to launch a disruptive startup in an insular, conservative, and outsider-phobic industry like wine. But sometimes, you meet people who see through the rough outside to find value in genuine people trying to do positive, impactful things. The team at Wine Dispensary, especially the owner Rob Mackenzie, is one of those people. He immediately noticed the power of Somm Says back in early 2022, even before we were ready to launch. He pushed us because he was excited to use Somm Says to support his wine club at his independent retail store in downtown Denver, CO. For more than four years, we've worked tirelessly to deliver value while increasing the enjoyment of wine consumers via partners like Wine Dispensary. It hasn't been easy, but the results are real. Today, Wine Dispensary regularly reaches more and more new customers via Somm Says. Our social and educational wine tasting game platform makes it easier for Wine Dispensary to better connect with, understand, and serve their customers. So much so that we're ready to go BIG. With shipping through our partner Wine Dispensary, we can now reach more customers in more states to help wine lovers enjoy a fun, social, educational wine tasting experience anywhere, anytime, with anyone. #winetasting #winegame #sommsays #winedispensary #winebusiness #winemarketing #startups #startuplife #entrepreneurship
