All About Industrial Floor Coatings

Date: Sun, Apr 25, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

The following quote was from a blog post that Angela started a while back. It is floor time. As a winery, we need a sealed concrete floor for our production space. Sounds easy enough… but when you have a list of needs such as quality, budget, durability, and efficiency it makes for some interesting compromises. Interesting [...]

Date: Fri, Apr 23, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

In the first forum Diego Piacentini of Amazon alluded to adding a cancellation/return policy to Joyo, how everyone else thought returns were just not a part of Chinese culture.

Barrel Raising

Date: Sat, Apr 17, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

Our new wine space came with an interesting sign post out front. It has two spaces for possible signage.

We knew that getting the [...]

Date: Mon, Apr 12, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

First Things Second

Date: Wed, Apr 7, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

Well, I just realised I hadn’t actually prefaced The Blending Room with more than the announcement. You can’t follow along very well on our TBR project if you  haven’t got a good idea of where we started, can you? So, this is the cement block nest into which we decided to put our ostrich egg [...]

First Things First

Date: Sun, Mar 28, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

We arrived February 26, 2010 to our new home The Blending Room to begin our first task! Drainage. Why you ask? We need a drain for easy clean-up of our wine “messes”.
