EPISODE #10 WINERY FOUNDERS MOST OFTEN ARE NOT THE BRILLIANT BUSINESS FOLKS THEY LOOK TO BE

from Fine Wine Confidential Podcast · host Fred Reno

Send us Fan MailEpisode #10 is about my thoughts on why most Founders of wineries or wine brands are not the brilliant or savvy business people they would like you to believe they are. No,  more often than not, their success, if they have any, is usually attributable to timing or causes outside of their control.I use my experience with Brice Cutrer Jones, the Founder of Sonoma-Cutrer Vineyards, as one example of why I formed this theory.
