So many wineries underestimate the cost and time to sell wine. As I have said on here many times distributors are logistics not sales.

Thank you - i was so confused why there were not any details behind the OP, ha!
Anyone know why she 'pulled back ’ her questions? Seems like she received postive/helpful comments across the board??

I figure some perceived “protection of brand.” Certainly it puts an exclamation mark on the feeling of having been used. Others could have benefited from this thread in the future to a much greater extent had her posts not been “pulled back.” As the thread stands now, it leaves future readers guessing as to what, exactly, all the responsive posts are talking about. Oh well …

Kinda silly to keep this thread up and running at this time . . .
Cheers
wtf happened here
I could be wrong but it seemed like they are trying to create a lifestyle Instagram brand around outdoor activities and then linking it to wine. The wine seemed secondary in the equation, except maybe to fund the lifestyle? Instead of selling outdoor gear the adventures were being linked to the Rose at home experience living vicariously through travels.
A million others have done it of course, but I dont think we are the target audience, especially at the premium pricing.
Totally agree Brian. Kinda sad that she went about things that way…but im guessing we’ll never hear from her again. I hope she’s happy with the info that she manipulated…errrr…gathered from everyone.

Thanks John, that was helpful. We decided to hold off entirely on a list for now and we’ll move in that direction organically, if / as the need arises!
Yes, we do! Fully licensed and legal. Not expanding too quick in YR-1. We’ll grow as we see market interest. In fact, FL may be happening sooner than later as we’re already getting a few asks there! 
Amen. We’re trying to be a flexible as possible!
Roy! I haven’t been back to this thread in a minute since I’ve been busy with all the start-up work but I’ve thought about this message many times in the past few weeks.
This was so incredibly kind of you to put together! You thought back through all the work you’ve done and you made this amazing list. We’ve got most of these bases covered and thought out but it was awesome to see everything in one handy spot. Plus, it seems like it helped others too!
Thank you thank you thank you. Much appreciation, sir <3

Wise words. Seen others do this and we are very careful that we will not expand beyond what demand we think we can meet
Hey Vincent! I did try to close out the thread, I think there was bit too much misunderstanding. I’m not great at forums and I’ve been too busy to be here often. But in any case, so far this thread has been quite validating That we’re on the right path! Quite a few awesome folks with good words to share

Oh mylanta the shipping adds up! That’s our most interesting challenge for the moment. 
ha! I’m not great at forums. I actually don’t know how to close it!
We’re trying! We’re trying!
@T.Harris , now that you seem to be responding again, can you let us know why you pulled back/ removed your initial questions from your post?
