Over the past few 60 days or so of working to start Uncorked Ventures I’ve found so many things to enjoy about working with wineries, I count myself very lucky to be in the field. Looking back at our progress, we’ve been able to move ahead much quicker then we even originally planned. I just got to think back at where we’ve come from because one of our free trials of a software (that was 60 days long) has expired and added another $15 per month to our cash outlay.

What comes up for us in the next 60 days?

To start I’ll assume what we’ve heard about the permitting process is accurate and that we’ll have all of our federal paperwork completed and our paperwork with the state of California will either be approved, or be very, very close to being approved. We’ll certainly have our warehouse location built out completely and ready to store wine. I also believe we’ll be on the first page of Google for at least two of our target search terms. Lastly I think we’ll have made significant progress with our export side of the business, which has probably taken more a back seat over these past 60 days than we originally planned.

We’re certainly moving forward with that process as quickly as possible, with some help both from world trade organizations as well as the US government. At this point, it looks like we have our options for export down to three countries each one with its own tax, ease of forming a business and geo-political concerns.

Of course we’ll keep you updated. Again, thanks for reading.
