Vins Côtes du Rhône Samples and Video

A good friend of mine forwarded this on to me this morning. This French Winery is pairing small samples of their wine with video descriptors. This gives anyone an opportunity to have a tasting room experience. Great job thinking about new unique ways of getting out there.

Apple Announces Its Last Year at Macworld

I wasn't planning on going this year anyway but wow. That's a blow to the community that Apple has created. Going to Macworld every year was an opportunity to be around a ton of other like minded people and to see the hottest new software and hardware in the field. I think it's really going to leave a hole.

Burning Hawk has gone live

Justin Whitaker — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 15:09:21 +0000

About a month ago I was approached to help with a video for a fledgling brand called Burning Hawk. The origins of the brand come from an incident where a hawk flew into a powerline, caught fire and fell burning into a vineyard. The story resonated with people and Nick Papadapolous spearheaded building a collaborative partnership to get the brand off the ground.

JProlific worked with burning hawk doing a small amount of shooting, editing consulting, and graphic development. Please take a minute to check out this great new brand at their website www.burninghawk.com.

The Wine Spies

Justin Whitaker — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 04:51:01 +0000

So I had an interesting experience today as I was checking the stats on our videos. One of them was doing much better then it had for a while so I looked into it a little bit more. It was the video of Scott from Thumbprint Cellars during winter wineland. Well Scott had embeded the video in his website but that had happened quite a while ago. This seemed to be something else. I dug into it a little further and found that the Wine Spies were doing a feature on Scott and Thumbprint today and they had lifted the video off of Thumbprints site and added it to theirs! It's pretty interesting how things can move around the internet. Anyhow if you've never heard of them before they've got a pretty awesome site and this one day sale thing is a great concept. You can check them out at: thewinespies.com.

Wine Biz Radio

So over in Sonoma they have a community radio station that's got a great show on it call Wine Biz Radio. It's hosted by Randy Hall and Kaz of Kaz Winery. It's a great show that covers all sorts of wine related topics with a bit of an affinity to Wine 2.0 topics as well. I hear most of you all saying right now, so what? I don't live in Sonoma and I can't get KSVY. See that's the best part. Wine Biz Radio is also a part of the Wine 2.0 club as they podcast their show on their website located at: winebizradio.com. Take a little bit of time and put an episode on in the background. I think you'll find yourself eager to hear another. It's become regular office listening here at JPro. Let me know if you know of any other winecasts you think are great.

Open Wine Consortium

Justin Whitaker — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 03:45:29 +0000

Ok, we like to talk about Wine 2.0 a lot and where it all might be headed. I think we've seen pretty good examples in the past with Gary V over at WLTV, Don Sebastiani and Sons, and Fermentation the Blog. The only problem with these are the lack of a cohesive community. Gary is great at what he does but its his site, Sebastiani and Sons are only telling their story, and Fermentation is a great blog with an active community, but again its Tom's site. So where am I going with this? To a new site called Open Wine Consortium. Basically, Facebook for wine. Built on top of Ning, an engine for building social networking websites, OWC completes what many Wine 2.0 enthusiasts were seeking. A place where we could meet, mingle, discuss, distribute ideas, and of course make great wine recommendations. The site is growing fast and with the ability to create forums, groups, add friends and all the great things a social networking site allows you to do its also somewhat addicting. So watch out, but definetly check out Open Wine Consortium at: www.openwineconsortium.org.

Oh, and if you do sign up add me to your friends.
