Hi Wine Diamonds Friends!
Just wanted to catch you up on what’s been happening in our world. This past weekend we revisited our friends at Elmaro Vineyard (Trempealeau, WI) to finish up with some interviews and shooting additional footage. We happened to visit them during their 8th anniversary and the place with packed with local wine lovers (several of which we interviewed). This was our longest day in the field: 16.5 hours on the road! Mental note: next time get a hotel! 🙂
Just last week we released a promotional video for our friends at the Mid-American Wine Competition. This pro-bono work underlines our commitment to the great wines being crafted in the heartland. Give it a watch:
This coming Saturday we’re traveling to Galena, Illinois to film at the Corkless Galena event with 10 wineries and scores of wine fans on hand. We’ll have a full complement on hand to film this event! Afterwards, we’ve been invited to give a presentation to the Galena Center for the Arts. We’ll talk about the challenges and rewards associated with filming a feature length documentary. That starts at 7pm. It’ll be a long, but fun day!
Have you seen our Official Movie Trailer!??! We’re super proud of it and excited to share it with you. Have you considered giving a gift of support to the film?
