Judgment of Paris: How a Marketing Idea Changed the Course of…

The state of French wine vs. California wine For savvy wine drinkers who enjoy California powerhouse producers like Kongsgaard, Stag’s Leap, Ridge, or Marcassin, it’s hard to imagine a time when California wine didn’t command the respect - and price per bottle - it does now. But, in the 1970s, these wines faced a number of headwinds. Business owners across all sectors will tell you that a product is only as good as those who know about it. Despite having a wine industry as far back as the late

Andy Beckstoffer: His Influence in Napa Valley, and His Legendary…

Andy Beckstoffer is a Napa Valley legend. In fact, Beckstoffer has made such an impact in Napa Valley in the five decades he’s lived there, that both the Wall Street Journal and Wine Spectator proclaimed him to be, “Napa’s most powerful grape grower”, and for good reason. His heritage vineyards, which date back to the 1800s, produce Napa Valley’s most sought-after grapes, which then become Napa’s most sought-after wines. Vineyards like the To-Kalon vineyard, Dr, Crane, Missouri Hopper, and Las

Japanese Wagyu vs American Wagyu: What’s the Difference? – Wagyu Haus

It’s said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but when it comes to Wagyu beef, nothing compares to the original, Japanese Wagyu beef.

The confusion largely seems to be the result of clever marketing campai

What Eggs Actually Do in Baking

If you’re an avid baker, you may have noticed that there is one ingredient that pops up again and again: eggs! Recipes for muffins, cookies, cakes and pastries all call for eggs, but why? What do eggs do in baking? When added to a recipe, eggs take on a few roles. They may be used to add structure, flavor, texture or act as a leavening agent. Interestingly, depending on whether the recipe calls for whole eggs, egg whites and egg yolks also affect what an egg does during baking. Whole eggs, egg

Peace of Mind with Revelation Pets

Christina Dos Santos knows a thing or two about how important peace of mind is to pet parents. In fact, that feeling of uncertainty and anxiety about leaving her pets with a stranger is what led her to create Paws at Play Pet Hotel & Doggie Parlour, her pet-care business in Boksburg, South Africa. “Ten years ago, I wanted to go away on holiday and could not find a suitable place to leave my Yorkies.

A Big Boost to a Business that Focuses on Little Dogs

Jill Loomes has a soft spot for small dogs. When she noticed her Cavapoo puppy Heidi was uncomfortable going to dog daycares that also accepted medium and large dogs, she had an “aha” moment: Create a fun daycare and boarding facility that only catered to small breed dogs and puppies, so they could feel more comfortable in a new environment. “We discovered there was nowhere safe for small breeds and puppies to feel safe and happy together while they were away from home,” says Jill. “Most kennel

Revelation Pets’ Pet-Care Software is ‘Good Dog’ Approved

Good Dogs Daycare Managing Director, Amy Kershaw, discovered she had a problem shortly after opening her Preston-based pet-care business. Her new business was adding new services and clients, but because the business’s operations were performed manually, every piece in her processes was dependent on how quickly staff could do things like create or modify a reservation, draft a feeding or walking schedule, and process payments. “I used to use a pen and paper method before Revelation Pets,” says

It’s Time To Make Politics Personal

Lately, we’ve gotten used to viewing each other in terms of ‘Rs’ and ‘Ds’ — Republican and Democrat. We’ve broken our friends, family and our colleagues down into who they supported in the election and what side of the issues they’re on. We’ve pressed the pause button when considering that behind every opinion is a person and behind every person is a story that is uniquely their own. I readily admit that I was one of those people too. It’s easy to walk away from conversations when you disagree w
