Esser Vineyards and Wine Marketing
German-born Manfred Esser began his wine career as a salesman for a large European winery. In 1974, he came to the United States to build a wine import and marketing business. Esser joined Napa Valleys Cuvaison Winery as President in 1986 and, in a little over 10 years, made it one of the most successful estates in the industry. His unique approach to converting customers into company ambassadors set an industry standard for client relations.
Manfred is widely known as a wine-marketing expert and specialist in creating Customer Loyalty. In fact, he coined the phrase Guilt Marketing - a concept where you treat your customers so well, that you create a sense of obligation to come back to your product or service and, even more than that, actually become Ambassadors for your company.
Having achieved success at Cuvaison, Esser sold his partnership in 1998. Continuing to live in Napa Valley, Manfred Esser introduced the Esser Vineyards portfolio of four California appellation wines: Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Pinot Noir, in order to create consumer-friendly California wines.
Join us as we visit with Manfred to hear his philosophical take on wine and wine marketing.

Venge Vineyards - Calistoga, California
The Venge (ven-ghee) family has farmed vitis viniferra varieties in Napa Valley for nearly a half-century. The family's viticultural roots flourished in 1976 with the purchase of a 17-acre vineyard in the Oakville District that was planted to Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Nils' son, Kirk Venge, gravitated to winemaking at an early age. He proved to be as talented a winemaker as his father, making wines in his own style, with a vision to build his own legacy in the valley. In 2008, Kirk achieved his lifelong dream and acquired full ownership of Venge Vineyards from his family. Today, Kirk continues the Napa Valley heritage, focusing on select vineyard sites that produce fruit worthy of bearing the Venge family name.

Meet the Winemaker (Episode 90): Shiki Rauchberger, Teperberg 1870, by Debra Meiburg MW
Debra takes a stroll with Shiki Rauchberger of the iconic Teperberg 1870 Winery, the largest winery in Israel, established in 1870. They talk about the key qualities of Terperberg's wines, as well as what being a kosher wine producer means (and how they are looking to break the stereotype).
Shiki explains what a demanding but fulfilling industry winemaking is, and how his love for the process stems from its mix of core agriculture, hands-on creation in the winery and the new challenges every season presents. Finally, Shiki explains how the future of the Israeli wine industry is connected to global warming, with Malbec a possible up-and-coming hero, perfectly suited to Israel's climactic conditions.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
