Alas, after a month-or-so long hiatus, purplemouthed.com is up and at it again. Welcome to the new site!
Apart from needing a facelift and some general maintenance, the real overhaul came about in response to a question that has been ever-present for years now: What exactly IS Purple Mouthed?
Often, your guess has been as good as mine. It was pairing wine with real life. It was me telling people to drink with passion and not pretension. It contemplated some type of wine tourism in Chile. It was fresh marketing services for wineries with soul. Etcetera.
But none of those ever fully captured what I was doing and where Purple Mouthed was going. Fresh marketing for wineries with soul has definitely been the closest, yet my main client isn’t even a winery!? So a new Purple Mouthed was put into motion. But then came international jaunts and distraction, self-doubt and enjoying wine perhaps a little too much… ’tis a fine line.
Jet lag’s fog has lifted, however, and I’m excited to present this new side of my business. Mostly, I’m just happy to have the meat of the site finished, because web design today is soooo much more difficult than what it used to be. Building a site with style that looks good on your cellphone, tablet AND laptop is no easy feat for a self-taught creator. So please, bear with me as I continue to work out some kinks. I will also be adding to the site—so stay tuned!—importing in old blogs, adding new blogs and creating a portfolio that will show the work to back up my tagline:
Because wine is more than fermented grape juice, I create what you need for it.
So what is Purple Mouthed? A provider of creative services for wine people. Wine people: drinkers, producers, distributors, retailers and beyond!
Want to host an atypical wine tasting? I can do that! Are you a wine producer that needs help with making your wine stand out? I can do that! Do you sell wine and need constant creative content to increase sales? Guess who can do that? ME!
Wine is amazing, and yes, at its core, it is as simple as fermented grape juice. But add humans to the equation and it transforms into a complex, iconic, cultural and downright fascinating liquid.
And while I provide the services necessary for making the most out of wine, this blog will continue to be a mix of wine marketing tips, producer profiles and my personal favorite, Kendal Montgomery wine ramblings. I hope you will pop in from time to time to check out new posts. I would also appreciate any feedback you might have with regard to the site, the concept or wine insight. My mother usually lets me know when there is a spelling error, or when it becomes quite clear that I speak more Spanish than English, but still, if you find a mistake, let me know; because just like someone with something in their teeth, I’d rather feel dumb in front of you than go through the entire day only to discover a giant chunk of green in my smile when looking in the mirror later…unless my teeth are purple, in which case, let me be, because I am 100% in my element 🙂
