The Year in Review - Wilma's Wine World
http://www.wilmaswineworld.com/2012/12/the-year-in-review.html
An insider's look at "wine country" life, by Kim Stare Wallace. The Year in Review. If someone had told me five years ago that The Husband and I would switch places and I would become President of the winery, I would have said "No way". Who on earth would want that. It's tons of work, it's tremendously stressful, and it's a completely thankless job. Forget it, it's not worth it. And you know what? So, as we end the year 2012 together, the year of our 40. Thank you for your support, loyalty, and friendship.

The Art of Thank You's - Wilma's Wine World
http://www.wilmaswineworld.com/2013/05/the-art-of-thank-yous.html
An insider's look at "wine country" life, by Kim Stare Wallace. The Art of Thank You's. I have written thousands, if not tens of thousands of thank you cards over the years - to wine stores, to restaurants, to distributors, you name it. I just got done with another couple of dozen on my last airplane headed home. It's a lost art form that I've always felt personalizes my interactions with our customers and one that I hope sticks. Out in the recipient's mind. But does it really? On May 7, 2013 12:40 PM.

An insider's look at "wine country" life, by Kim Stare Wallace. This is one of my favorite times of year. There's a chill in the air and everyone seems to be in a festive mood. even if they might. Feel a bit stressed about the holidays. Another reason I love this time of year is all the goodies that we get to eat! Family recipes, especially, are important as they carry on the tradition and legacy from generation to generation. I definitely have my own which I've shared in the past. This time, I. Wanted: ...

The Unglamorous Side of the Wine Business - Wilma's Wine World
http://www.wilmaswineworld.com/2012/12/the-unglamorous-side-of-the-wi.html
An insider's look at "wine country" life, by Kim Stare Wallace. The Unglamorous Side of the Wine Business. Contrary to popular belief, it's not all roses and daisies working in the wine industry. In fact, this business can humble you in ways you never thought possible. And I don't mean humble in a bad way. I just mean bring you back down to earth. Sort of like a reality check. Recently, I had one such occasion to be reminded of just how challenging and competitive the wine sales world is. A few people ra...

Feeling Thankful - Wilma's Wine World
http://www.wilmaswineworld.com/2012/11/feeling-thankful.html
An insider's look at "wine country" life, by Kim Stare Wallace. So when it was brought to my attention that the legendary James Laube, Senior Editor of Wine Spectator, mentioned my name in a December 15 article on the Class of '72, my heart burst with pride. It was just six years ago that I sat down with him to share my vision for our family winery. Wow Now, he's acknowledged the work we've done by actually including Dry Creek Vineyard in his story- the only winery from Sonoma County. November 20, 2012 1...

An insider's look at "wine country" life, by Kim Stare Wallace. Open That Bottle Night. If you're like me, open that bottle night may be every night of the week! But seriously, Open That Bottle Night (OTBN) is an annual event started more. 40 years of what has obviously been an enduring romance and love for each other. Often, their lovey-dovey ways spilled onto the pages of their wine. I'm a sucker for a great love story and as love affairs go in the wine industry, Dottie and John's story has to be right...

Harvest is Here! - Wilma's Wine World
http://www.wilmaswineworld.com/2012/08/harvest-is-here.html
An insider's look at "wine country" life, by Kim Stare Wallace. It's amazing how much things can change in 24 hours. Yesterday I went out to the crush pad to find the crew busy with last. Minute harvest preparations. Cleaning tanks, making sure the crusher/destemmer is in good working form, calibrating the lab equipment, etc. Today, all hell broke loose! Has provided near perfect conditions. A long warm summer with plenty of cool evenings and foggy mornings. Change. I don't want to jinx it! Was the previ...
