Social Media and the Wine Biz

Ill be the first to admit, I was not sold on the social media thing and how it influences my career and the wine biz. However, after encouragement from my friends, family, and business associates I started to created something that I never thought I would.

Since April of 2011, I have been creating a wine video blogs for Spec's called Wine Down with Spec's. You can find them at www.youtube.com/specs1962 . These videos have not only helped to bring to Texas a different way to look at our biz and wine consumption, but it has also reconfirmed my passion for the wine industry.
