American Winemakers Put the Vineyard OnlineAmericanWinery.com Online Wine Tours Allow Shoppers to Experience Wineries and Wines Before They Buy WALLA WALLA, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AmericanWinery.com, the premiere destination for wine enthusiasts to buy wines direct from U.S. wineries, has launched wine tours on its web site in a series called “Straight From the Source.” The ongoing video series brings the experience of visiting American wineries directly to consumers. Videos can be viewed on the company’s video blog, and accessed via the site’s home page at AmericanWinery.com. AmericanWinery.com is currently partnered with more than 475 wineries to sell wine direct, ranging from large-scale producers to individual winemakers. The “Straight From the Source” series aligns with the company’s mission to help wineries tell their unique story and assist wine sales. More than 30 wineries have participated in the series to-date by posting video shorts alongside the wines they are selling on the site. How it Works Flip Video™ camcorders are provided to partner wineries to capture their unique story on video in their own voice. Once compiled, AmericanWinery.com edits the footage and posts the video to the site. Segments include conversations with winemakers, winery tours and wine recommendations. For example, Tom Farella, winemaker at Farella-Park Vineyards, explains the soil composition of his vineyards, his food-friendly winemaking philosophy, and provides a glimpse into the traditional Napa Valley family-oriented winery life. To view “Straight From the Source” with Farella, visit here. “While the economy may have put travel plans to wine regions on hold and has some people looking for great wine buys, we’re making the wine buying experience more dynamic for consumers who want to make a more informed decision,” said Lloyd Benedict, founder and CEO of AmericanWinery.com. “‘Straight From the Source’ allows winemakers to introduce themselves to wine shoppers in an online shopping environment that has no middleman. All the wine at AmericanWinery.com is vineyard-shipped.” Winemakers like Jon Armstrong of Purple Cow Vineyards in Forest Grove, Ore. have taken advantage of the opportunity. “From the moment we learned about AmericanWinery.com’s mission, they have continued to make it simple for us to market and sell our wines through their site,” said Armstrong. “‘Straight From the Source’ is just another example of the innovative approach they are taking to allow us tell our story in our own words and sell our wines to people all over the U.S.” To meet Purple Cow partners Armstrong and Matt Talley, visit here. AmericanWinery.com is the premier destination for buying distinctive, American-made wines, shipped direct from the winery. The Walla Walla-based company is partnered with more than 475 wineries through its Consumer Direct Marketplace and WineStore network, enabling online sales of nearly 3,000 wine selections.
