Hey, this book is cool! I’ve been designing winery websites for years and really like it. I even found my job described on p. 318, but what is nice about this book is it describes what I need to do if I want to break into the Marketing and PR function within a winery. Very practical.

This is a very useful book. I was a small concerned that the material would be too US centric whilst reading the first few pages – being based in Australia I was looking for something that would give a excellent level of general industry information with international relevance. My concern was unfounded as the book is full of thoughts, advice and examples of people who have already made it in their area of the wine industry. The examples are US based but are also relevant to an international audience. For me, not having a real mentor in the industry, the insights provided in the book were illuminating and answered a lot of questions that I was struggling to find answers to. The book is also practical, guiding you through the creation of an action plot that will get your wine career moving. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to make a go into the wine industry.
