Kaz invents another new word! In the meantime, he and Randy have a nice session with Rick Breslin of Hello Vino, talking about their iPhone application, what Vintank thinks of them, and what’s in their pipeline. Then their ears turn to Eric Arnold, deputy lifestyle editor at Forbes and author of First Big Crush, who riffs about the appalling state of the Australian wine industry and the lesson that is being missed by the rest of the worldwide wine industry.
Freaky good times, and the podcast is a full ten minutes longer than the radio broadcast! You’re welcome!
Kaz and Randy play host to Cruvee CEO Evan Cover and discuss their business, their service, and some interesting new features in their pipeline. Then it all devolves into the shuck-and-jive that Kaz and Randy are (in)famous for!
What do you do when a caveman comes calling? Sit him in the chair like everyone else and ask him some questions! Mike Wangbickler, PR professional, wine industry blogger, and executive director of the re-imagined Academy of Wine Communications talks about wine PR, and a little get together at the end of June aimed at getting wine writers some paying gigs! All that, and more current events than you can shake a wet cork at!
What happens when a vital wine industry service melts down? Well, it certainly makes for interesting radio! Learn as Kaz and Randy talk with Spencer Kinch from Bacchus Fulfillment regarding the New Vine Logistics shutdown. Then our heroes get on with the show they meant to do!
Allan Wright from Zephyr Adventures, one of the co-organizers of the upcoming Wine Bloggers’ Conference talks all about the conference, including key changes from last years agenda.

Please consider contributing so that even more bloggers can be helped out in these “interesting times.”
As usual, it’s jam packed with good stuff for your podcast pleasure!
AmericanWinery.com CEO Lloyd Benedict calls in to discuss with Kaz and Randy the public beta of their new service called winecliQ, their business model and then puts in shameless plugs for all kinds of things! Our ethics-o-meters were off the chart! Or perhaps that was just Randy with his finger in the light socket.
Excellent information for the wine bloggers, small wineries and just about everyone else too!
