Selling Texas Wine with Tessa Butterfield of McPherson Cellars
Tessa Butterfield is VP of Sales and Marketing at McPherson Cellars, and she joins me to discuss selling Texas wine and her role as National Director for Education for Women for WineSense. And in Texas wine news, there's a new Texas wine article and ratings from Wine Enthusiast, plus my report on of all the Texas wine happenings at TEXSOM. I attended a very special vineyard rededication at Grayson College, and I'll tell you all about it. And you've still got time to enter a couple ticket giveaways. Listen for how to enter to win a pair of general admission passes to the Fredericksburg Food and Wine Festival's Grand Tasting and a pair of passes to the Texas Hill Country Wineries' Texas Wine Month Passport. Cheers y'all!
