What Word of Mouth Advertising Truly Means

Posted on by

PROTOCOL wine studio is a small company. So when one of our followers posts a heart-felt reaction, we take notice. As Mauricio stated, he finally moved to California (from Colombia.) We met on our Twitter program #WineStudio where our followers tune in to discuss wine and related subjects. As much as I wanted to, getting our selected bottles into Mauricio’s hands proved difficult. After the move to San Fransisco, he proudly stated that he would be attending our Le Metro Wine Rosé event in June. I was ecstatic with the … Read more →

Posted on by

A Start-up just Starting I’m sitting in our studio paying bills. Our Alcohol Board of Control (ABC) license renewal has come due and I’m cutting a check to keep the wine flowing.

Such a cool honour overall.  We met Deb thru our online Twitter program #WineStudio, where we run a 4 week curriculum program based on wines from different sponsors.
