A few days ago, in response to a Facebook post by Steve/ESJ, I commented that I didn't believe his OH/KY/IN distributor was getting behind his brand. Well, I got a nice message from Doris, one of the owners of Vintner Select, asking what I thought they could do to improve the situation. Essentially, I told her that for starters VS could handle more than just 2 of Steve's wines, which was the case at least as of a couple of months ago. They could also at least try to penetrate the Indiana marketplace outside of just Indy and Bloomington. I know that VS has participated in a number of tasting dinners in association with a few Louisville Restaurants, but I have yet to see any ESJ wine promoted at any of these events.
If anyone here has additional thoughts for Doris, give her a call.
