Please forgive my shameless use of this board for the promotion of our yummy brand. However, our wines have just made it into Sweden and I am looking for the names of Sommeliers who are also Berserkers so I can give them a heads up. Thanks!
Todd:
Congrats. Any plans in the works for Japan?
On the distant horizon Steve, however my son (9) is enrolled in the Japanese immersion school here. It’s a goal to sell into Japan.
How’d the celebration at your folks go?
Went great, thanks. Wines were a big hit, and the very few remaining bottles were quickly snapped up by family members to take home. Pinot Grigio and Riesling were big hits, as were the various pinots. I wanted to try the Syrah but my sister nabbed it to take home. Thanks again and look forward to catching up some time.
Are they in the systembolagets there or just restaurants?
Congratulations Todd, by the look of Muram’s portfolio it seems that you got a good importer!
Seems like ‘Systembolaget’ at least, has three pinots. I am sadly not in the wine industry back home (Sweden), only a collector although I will try some of your Pinots when I get home and try to get the word out with the few that I do know in the industry. If you are interested in getting attention in the online communities, especially the blog-world, which is quite big and a few names always have a following, I could help you to the right channels. Some of the blogs have been liberally used upon releases (i.e. sent samples to etc), with bristly.se being the most blog-prone importer. Let me know, otherwise I which you all the best with your Swedish sales! ![]()
Thanks! Feel free to pm me some names if you’d rather not post. Much appreciated!
