Hi Michael -

Thanks for the add!

Where can I buy your wine? I'm happy to give it a try!

Hi Micheal,

Thanks for the wishes, though I am a long way from getting started and a lot to learn. But some day, hopefully :)

I like what you have done with Think Tank. Good luck for the future.

Hi Michael,
visited your web site with great interest! I have been thinking about your message about "my plans in the US". As you may have seen in our web site we associate a number of italian producers from different regions of Italy. Each one carries and propose a different project and product philosophy still they share the concept of promoting themselves through Circuito Verde. We try to be honest interpreters of our producers projects.
Some of the wineries we associate are bigger, some smaller, some more commercial some very limited production and organic.
I am familiar we travelling on business to the US as I visit approx 4 times a year and spend time in different areas where I eaither have importers or a re looking for importers.
I would be very much interested in getting to know more YOUR project and would like to introduce you 3 of my wineries (see my web site for them and through my web site you can visit their website):
Castariva (Tuscany)
Cabanon (Lombardy)
La Marca di San Michele (Marche)
In my opinion there are 3 levels of enjoying this networking and being in touch:
a- you are an importer and have interest in expanding your portfolio and you may consider some of my producers
b- we simply enjoy exchanging views about areas and products we know and people we know and opportunities we come accross
c- both a and b which is usually the way I like to do business

Look forward to hearing from you
Ciao Uliana

Michael!

Many thanks for the kind words! I'm trying to "make wine" fun and easy to "buy" into; isn't it crazy how there is no big brand that dominates the TV side or online side of wine; maybe that's a good thing! And, I touched on the website this morning! Can't tell you how many times I've heard about Basking Ridge; my Dad lived there and in Morristown and I still hear about every day! All the best, would love to get together and figure out a way to work together to break down more walls!

love what your doing!

Hello Michael,

Glad to hear that your interested in the Roundtable, the response has been rather encouraging. "Think Tank" looks wonderful. Yes, do let me know if your planning on attending as there is limited space.
Look forward to meeting you.

Might know of some other BD fruit for you- Syrah and Viognier from Pasa Robles. Possibly some Oak Knoll Chardonnay too.

The only BD fruit I know that may be available for sale is mendo cab and syrah. If you are interested in either of those- I would be happy to contact the vineyard owner to get more info for you....

What about Mendocino Cabernet or Syrah?
