New Site, New Writers, New Wine Time TV Experience

New Site

I could have titled this article “Dirty Laundry” or “Out With The Old…” Let me explain;

I started Wine Time TV back in late July 2009 on the wake of the then infamous Murphy-Goode Winery “Lifestyle Correspondent, A Really Goode Job” campaign, where I was publicly acknowledged as a Top 10 candidate (from over 1,000 applicants) and promised a Goode job by none other than Billionaire Entrepreneur himself, Jess
Jess Jackson
Jackson, Murphy-Goode winemaker David Ready Jr. and a slew of Jackson Family Wines VP’s of Marketing and What-Nots at the time. It was my intention to use this entertaining platform as one of several innovative tools I had up my sleeve to further promote Jess’ wonderful wares, like Murphy-Goode wine, for example.

Since then however, Jess and Jackson Family Wines have reneged on their promises, thus leaving this Wine Aficionado in training high and dry. Since receiving that awful news only a few weeks ago, you might imagine that someone transplanting themselves from Germany to California has likely already made travel plans and tied up local loose ends (flat, jobs, etc.) preparing for a new life in a new town/country. That someone, me, was basically screwed.

For a while there, it was difficult to NOT let Jackson Family Wines despicable and dishonest business practices corrode my new found lust for Wine, Wine Culture and Wine Edu-tainment and I certainly thought about calling it a day, related to my many online wine-oriented activities. It takes energy, commitment and passion to keep social networks alive and kicking, as many of you certainly know from your own exploits. I for one, have a very loud voice and strong presence in a variety of online niches (search Kamary Phillips google or yahoo) and have decided to continue growing Wine Time TV.net within the Winosphere, despite my unfortunate setbacks courtesy of Jackson Family Wines. (Wow, imagine if I was getting paid and dedicated everyday/all day to this!?) Thankfully there are thousands of wineries in the United States and I look forward to finding a new personal favorite and also creating mutually beneficial relationships with those knowing the value of social media and understanding the true meaning of partnership and promises.

New Writers

Helping with the new Wine Time TV experience are a handful of talented writers who’ll be contributing interesting and entertaining articles related to Wine, Food and the culture surrounding both. I’m happy to announce a few of them today as promised. Please give a warm Wine Time TV welcome to Jodi Fritch, Elizabeth White, and Rachel (just Rachel, like Cher!) Expect to see regular articles from these brilliant folks as well as several other talents being announced in the next days. Welcome aboard!

Thanks for reading,

New Writers, New Content, New Site

There’s been so many positive responses and requests to write for Wine Time TV since putting it out there that I think the new energy and content from the new writers warrants a brand new website to match. I’m working on it right now and will launch the new site along with announcing at least one new Wine Time TV writer on Monday, December 7th! Stay in the loop, follow Wine Time TV and me…

Writers Wanted

Wine writers, that is. As life often does, once again things are changing for me. I've got a major move coming up and will have to bare down and focus on making money for a few months, leaving me less time for the things I enjoy doing for fun and community; like winetimetv.net/.

So, I’m looking for wine writers or people that would like to write about wine and wine culture. I would like to spend what little time I may have on promoting the site and virally marketing the content we’re creating around here. Also, continuing producing the webisodes when interesting people cross my path is high on my list of To-do’s. Meanwhile other inspired writers will be filling in the gaps with their own informative and entertaining takes on Wine and Wine Culture.

At present Wine Time TV.net is a very good visited site with 800-1200 folks popping in daily. It’s a great platform for anyone with something relevant to share and the door is open. Contact me here if you have something to offer. I’d love to hear from you!
Wine Time TV vs. Andy’s Goode Life Blog

What’s all the hubbub about you ask? Well, this terrific person (not me silly) and wonderful blogger has challenged me to a duel. Old school like!

We launched our blog projects around the same time and have decided to go at it head to head, basically on her terms. I’m pretty much along for the ride with the intention of kicking some royal X & 0 butt! So far, I’m doing just that. Have a look;

Visits are the numbers in question here.

At present we’re looking at the month of August and as you can see, over 1600 visits to the blog in that time. Want to see how Andy’s doing? Of course you do!

Since I’m moving over the next few days I won’t be terribly active however I’ll be keeping an eye on how Andy’s Goode Life Blog is doing in our little race. Funny, I can’t even remember what the winner gets here! Got some thoughts? Leave a comment!

Thanks for reading!
