This show was atypical in that we had a quiet "live" audience that night on the Talkshoe. We were all over the discussion, but the folks in the chat didn't seem particularly engaged. That's something we hope Dominic can help with going forward, since we'll have someone who can pay more attention to the chat than I can, per se.

The game itself is really interesting. It will definitely demonstrate that it's easy to be reckless and even easier to be too conservative when trying to build a winery. The true challenge is finding the sweet spot where, as a winery owner, you grow just fast enough to prosper.

No kidding, it can definitely be used as an educational tool for people who may not entirely appreciate the challenges of being responsible for all winery operations.

Yeah, the COPIA site being sold certainly sounds promising; I'd be curious to know who the "interested parties" were. Might be time to check in with Lew Purdue...

Todd, you're very generous! I like to think that we primarily aim to entertain, the fact that the interview was both broad and deep was just icing for us!

We intend to cover the controversies, indeed. Just lazy about seeking comment from the players involved in the controversies.

Thanks for the kind words, I know Paul appreciates it, after the death march his team has been on to produce it.

Of course, the fact that you are listening and seem somewhat outside the normal listener profile makes ME intensely curious! Thanks for listening, and I hope we keep it interesting (if not entertaining) for you.

Cheers!

Don't be sad, Bob. Better late than never! If I'm not doing it, at least you can pimp yourself!

Yeah, unfortunately iTunes and Wine Biz Radio just haven't gotten along for about the last nine months. I'll update the home page to show how to add WBR to your iTunes podcasts in a few short steps.

Hey Rick,

Perhaps you didn't notice the "[link]" text, which has a link to each blogger's site.

Anyhow, I get criticism if I put the link on the blogger's name or on the "[link]" text. Perhaps I will just make the whole damn LINE a link...

Thanks Brad. I know that people have fallen on either side of this episode (either that this show was awesome, or that it flogged an already dead horse past the ground meat stage). Since I'm primarily concerned with being entertaining, having a rather solemn and deep discussion about a topic as dry as ethics (and let's face it: few things are more sleep-inducing) is a bit out of the old comfort zone.
