Stacy and Chico When it came time to decide what the AW team wanted to do for community service, it didn’t take long for us to agree on animals.

Styrofoam vs. Cardboard: First to Decompose Wins!
Date: Thu, Aug 14, 2008 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business
Why? That is my question. Why use styrofoam (expanded polystyrene foam) packaging? Granted, not everybody cares about the environment. Some say that styrofoam takes 900 years to decompose. Others say 2,000. What do I think? WE DON’T KNOW! This material was developed in the 1940’s. Maybe if Jesus had thought of it and started a [...]

Erica Sharp on Gary Vaynerchuk’s 101 Wines
Date: Fri, Aug 1, 2008 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business
I love to read I really didn’t know what to think when Gary Vaynerchuk announced on “The Thunder Show” that he had written a book. Gary’s unbridled enthusiasm is perfect for the medium of video, but I wasn’t sure how his personality would translate to the written word. Two paragraphs into 101 Wines and I could tell [...]
