A Simple Twist of Fate – Part 1

Thursday, January 7, 2010

With a nod to Bob (that’s MR. Dylan to you, sonny!), the New Year has rendered me a bit nostalgic. Don’t get me wrong, I’m completely jacked up about 2010 and the future, but sometimes I drift off into thinking about my past. I’m guessing you do too.
Life does throw out interesting ‘twists of fate’. [...]

Humanitas New Year Haiku

Wednesday, January 6, 2010

One of my New Year’s resolutions is to get back into blogging.  I took several months off to focus on other areas of the Humanitas business (which will become fodder for some of the future posts!), but now feel compelled to spread the good word of Humanitas Wines once again…and with passion!  So many wonderful [...]

Goes Great With…Wii!!

Friday, February 27, 2009

It is Friday — a long day ahead of me driving 3 hours for a distributor meeting.  That also means 3 hours back later this afternoon…assuming no traffic.  But I’m psyched because I know when I return, I get to have a little family time tonight.  That’s right — no late night partying for this [...]

Inspired By…George Harrison…

Wednesday, February 25, 2009

“Give me love, give me love
Give me…peace on Earth”
As I was driving along today I heard that it was George Harrison’s birthday, and that although he often celebrated his birthday on February 24, in truth he was born a few minutes after midnight on the 25th.  Kind of cool — I’m pretty sure I’d celebrate [...]

Peet’s – My Affordable Addicti…er…Luxury!

Friday, February 20, 2009

For a lot of  us in the wine business (and I assume other businesses), our lives revolve around beverages.  Usually this is coffee in the morning, water during the day, and wine at night.  Some people would actually say this is an addiction.  I’m here to say that for me, at least the coffee part, [...]

Overheard in Wine Country…He Spits Like a Girl!

Thursday, February 19, 2009

I had a chance to return to one of the really fine Napa Valley restaurants the other day to meet up with an old friend.  ‘Cook‘ in St. Helena is a favorite of many locals and huge find for tourists — very intimate — excellent food.  It is also a marvelous place to order dinner [...]

‘Viral’ Wine Marketing to the Extreme

Wednesday, February 11, 2009

I had the great pleasure of pouring Humanitas wines for the Stanford Business School wine tasting club a week ago Tuesday.  Wonderful people — a good time in general as these folks were not only interested in the Humanitas wines, but also the Humanitas business model – which is somewhat unique and hopefully intriguing.  I [...]

Rest In Peace…Millard Fuller (founder of Habitat for Humanity)

Friday, February 6, 2009

On February 3rd, 2009, one of the most inspirational people I’ve ever had the chance to meet passed away.  Millard Fuller was the founder of Habitat for Humanity, one of the primary charities supported by Humanitas Wines.
I’ve read several accounts of Mr. Fuller’s life and will attach some links for readers to enjoy.  But for [...]

Short post today — just a quick You Tube video of the coolest guy in L.A. — Adam the Wine Guy.  A very cool style not unlike Gary Vaynerchuk — real, raw & obviously very accurate on his description of our Humanitas 2007 ‘Oak Free’ Monterey Chardonnay!

Reading Glasses…Business Books by Jim Collins

Monday, February 2, 2009

“The kind of commitment I find among the best performers across virtually every field is a single-minded passion for what they do, an unwavering desire for excellence in the way they think and the way they work. Genuine confidence is what launches you out of bed in the morning, and through your day with a [...]
