extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any points for rookie blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.

]]> Comment on Friends don’t let friends Vacu-Vin by John Cesano http://johnonwine.com/2009/12/17/friends-dont-let-friends-vacu-vin/#comment-3392 Fri, 03 May 2013 01:04:38 +0000 http://johncesano.wordpress.com/?p=194#comment-3392 I know that the Your Dragon’s Den is known as the Shark Tank here. We did have someone appear here with the same product you are speaking of. He got an investor, but then seemed to have backed out of the deal, retaining all control of his company while enjoying some visibility. Each time the episode repeats, I see an increase in traffic, as I wrote about the product and google directs searchers here for more info on it.

I have no idea why they changed them to something that so obviously doesn’t work… anyway they did…. the next comment I have is a question. I watched a show on The Dragons Den and they had a guy on there with an amazing system… it was a long elongated balloon that fit inside the bottle was blown up. And completely sealed the wine off from the oxygen. Now I imagine it would have to be made of surgical rubber or silicon or something not to transfer the rubber taste but I thought it was a brilliant idea… So did the dragons as he did sell his idea… that was it though. I have not been able to find any sign of this product…have you seen this yet?

I say sadly because their wines are just so darn good. Great grapes, great winemaker, great wine.

Once upon me, she thanked me for writing this piece for the Ukiah Daily Journal, that she had a Vacu-Vin, and wasn’t going to use it anymore, then she told me she would read me each week.

Never in all my time writing online has that happened. Now, thanks to essentially a print version of my blog, I had this surreal experience. I suppose it helps that my weekly wine column exists in a small town newspaper.

You got your name in the paper. Oddly, there’s still something about seeing it in print, you know? Congrats.
