That is the other side of the coin. Our topic was the Groupon/Yelp dynamic, and really didn’t touch on the possibility of KK being a con artist.

On another note, what’s up with Wallace’s being in the wine trade? I know a dozen or so. Is it a Scottish thing?

The deal with the Groupon sale was for $35 you could come to one of his tastings. He, in his own words on a video on his website Bottled Grapes, states that he sold 4000 tickets between Groupon and Living Social. $35 times 4000 = $140,000
Krunch received immediately from Groupon (presumably) $70,000

From Krunche’s own lips…….

This guy is a con man. All of his credentials are fake. We checked them all out. Now as a result of this implosion
others are checking him out.

He tried to con us out of wine. We lost a few thousand but we were never taken in. Speaking to Costco, they fired him; the Store chain Potash fired him. He was a clerk. Not a Sommelier. No Harvard Grad. No Rothschild connection. They do not even give out titles.

Thanks for the mention about our Calistoga AVA! The marketplace should begin to see the distinctiveness of this area as wines grown here can now be labeled accordingly.

I LOVE her cookies! They are so addictive. You will never eat another brand ever again ~ seriously. Now I have to go order some………can you recommend a wine to go with them?
