The Big Thank You
Time To Honor the Sponsors…the folk who honor FERMENTATION by their presence.
INERTIA BEVERAGE GROUP
The pros when it comes to direct sales of wine, web management and all things wine and selling on-line. Their new blog, REthink Wine Blog, is ramped up and delivers daily insights on how to sell more wine on-line.
