Anyone else get a call from Mumm Napa winery?
3I backed the Casemates Kickstarter a day or two ago (okay, okay, just for the badge), and tonight got a call from Linda at Mumm Napa winery to confirm that I lived in a state that doesn’t allow wine deliveries.
She got my name wrong, but my number and address right. I’ve never ordered wine online. I realize this might be tin foil hat time, but it seemed a little coincidental that I back a wine delivery service and boom, I’m getting random calls about wine deliveries.
Anybody else, or should I buy stock in aluminum wrap?

Hah! i haven’t worked with Mumm in like 6 years. i wish. Ever since my contact left for Gallo, it’s been crickets. Actually, We’ve spent a good deal of time and effort to contractually disallow such things. We’ll continue that practice. i’ve missed a few trends in the wine industry, one of them is the absolute outbreak of wine telemarketing companies and the wineries who embrace the practice. apparently a very effective tool for many. i don’t get it.
But she was great working with the 2012 Tour to bring us together with Mike Martini for one of the most memorable stops on any of the Tours - the veteran group tasting 3 different blends (different amounts of Merlot added) of the 1968 Martini Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon as a 40+ year old wine. I doubt there are more than a couple of hundred people in- or outside the business who’ve done that, but our Tourists did!!!
@rpm That was my wine epiphany moment.
@rjquillin I was there!
@rpm Sorry, but I did no spitting of that '68. All sipping.
