Great flour with more fibre, protein and flavour than all the others I have tried.

The key takeaway from yesterday's quarterly Craft Wine Association's Advocacy Group meeting: How easy does your winery make it for the media to write about you? Our speaker, Carl Giavanti, a winery publicist, provided valuable insights into achieving media success for wineries. My takeaways included: ▪️ Having a dedicated trade and media page on your website. ▪️ Providing a compelling story about your brand, along with background information and owner bios. ▪️ Ensuring contact details for a publicity manager are available on your website, and that this person is responsive to emails. ▪️ Building trust through consistent responsiveness and maintaining a public presence. This raises the question for all producers: Are you making it easy for your winery to be featured in the media? Do you have bottle shots, background information, trade information, and a person in charge of publicity? During the meeting, following Carl's insightful talk, Sean O'Leary, Irish Liquor Lawyer, provided an update on the Chevron Deference and Total Wines Case. Advocacy Group Chair, Steven Harrison, also shared updates on the continued support and distribution of the National Direct Shipping Bill of Rights. The CWA's next Advocacy meeting will be held in October. Please be on the lookout for the RSVP link.

“This Fund Will Produce The Next Generation Of Latino Winemakers.” That's a powerful promise - but possible with the help of independent winemaker Macario Montoya and the community of Naked Wines. ➡️ Read it in Men's Journal: https://lnkd.in/grnEE2FW The Montoya Opportunity Fund is a grant program made to support aspiring #Latino #winemakers looking to make their mark in the industry. We’re kicking things off by releasing $80,000 in grants this fall. What started it all? 🍇The world has far too few Latino winemakers, let alone Latino-owned wine brands. 🌎 In California, Latinos make up only 1% of wine producers in the state. 🫶 It’s up to communities like ours to lift up others who have contributed so much to the wine industry. It’s time for a change. How you can help: 1. Share this grant opportunity with your network today. All Latino winemakers, emerging and established, or those in the wine industry, are welcome to apply. 2. Applications close October 31st. If you need assistance applying, comment below. If you have the question, chances are others will! 3. This first year, the program is releasing up to 14 grants and $80,000 in opportunity funds. This could mean the world to a winemaker - yourself 👀, or one you know. *Many thank you's to Matthew Kaner for the coverage!
