Everything that I do is about educating, whether it’s teaching or consulting. We look at the entire world of wine – the business end, the viniculture; viticulture and how everything works – not only how it tastes or smells. 

We’ve changed the name of my company. Last month I received a very polite email from the owner of ‘The Second Glass’ out of New York, suggesting that I do so, since they have trademarked the name. This means that legally, no other company within the same industry in the US can use their name, or any derivative of it, no matter how different the services we offer, may be.
