[...] Last month, I made a point to attend a series of wine events that presented opportunities to network with wine professionals and enthusiasts alike. To see the power of Social Media at work was both exciting and gratifying. Whether it was a tasting event to promote a particular wine region, a launch to celebrate a new social network, or a tweetup which is essentially a meetup with tweeting, events like these “puts the Social back in to social media,” a quote I borrowed from Thea Dwelle’s blog Luscious Lushes.

It was a great event! Granted we weren't in the main salon, but it's worth a second look. The *AHEM* unoaked chard was LOVELY and the Savvy delish! Oh and there's this little cab they do…

Indeed. It was a great event, and Mondavi was the icing on the cake. The fact that they were OPEN to it was really key – and the product was excellent. They pulled out the stops and we were able to taste many exclusives in a setting that bypassed the tasting room madness. Well done indeed!

Sounds like Mondavi is really embracing Social Media. For a brand like theirs, they could do some great thing with it. In the end, customer service and being nice score big points – BUT your product has to be there (content is king). It sounds like they're making some good stuff in addition to their mass produced lines too.

Love this quote: "Treat a customer like a valued friend, and they will come back over and over again."

I couldn't have said it better! It is so incredibly true.

Nice job!
