    Damn, this is getting tough. Great lessons to learn at a young age though. You think that you just put it out there and stand behind your positive cause and it magically happens… not quite. In light of Jeff’s post over at Good Grape yesterday, we would like to exhaust our struggles. In pushing for fund raising and our distributor alliance to come through, we’ve lost a little wind in are sails. Things just don’t move as fast as you’d like and you ultimately get to a point where you’re doing a hell of a lot of talking, and not much walking. Thus, the reason why I, for one, haven’t even written a blog post in 6 weeks. However, we’re back and ready to rock and we feel this thing coming together. At Grape Thinking, we’ve got some great client prospects and I know as soon as we seal up internal organizational issues, things will tip. We’re also working on creating a cool review aggregator for wine, food, recipe, and lifestyle reviews. Trying to get everyone pumped up about the World Cup of Wine too. Huge kudos to Ruarri, Jake, and Brad for busting their asses to make that happen and spark our aggregator. We’ve also hooked up with Doug over at Blog Soop, who’s aggregating restaurant reviews and doing it in an intelligent stylish way. Hope to join forces down the line and fuel the Taste engine. Ok, enough talk, time to start bringing some positive value to this industry.

      One quote from a Prof of mine at MIT:

      “In order to be better, you must first be different.” – Amar Bose

      Whatever you do, don’t put up another Snooth or Cork’d or whatever. Do something different.

      Cheers!

      Oh, and if starting a business were easy, everyone would do it…

    2. Greg Said,

      Ya I hear you. Thanks for the encouragement.

      Greg, Keep fightin’ the good fight.

      I’m learning that it’s good to completely do something different to clear your head when your hobby and passions collide with intense work.

      For me, I think that’s some reading for relaxation, not education.

      All the best,

      Jeff

      Keep up the hard work guys. We are rooting for you. Also your group was missed at our appreciation party.

      One last note - we are looking for you guys to actively join the Facebook Wine 2.0 group.

    5. Agent Red Said,

      Guys! I was wondering what happened to you. Very glad to see that you are back in action. Looking forward to new posts and continued success!
