This week I’m talking to Alexandra Farber, head of planning at NakedWines.com and one of the winemakers at Naked Wines.
I am a Naked Wines “Angel”, which means I joined the program several months ago and contribute $40 monthly to the program. That monthly investment builds and I can use it anytime to purchase wine at essentially wholesale prices from up and coming winemakers supported by Naked Wine. Shipping is Free for purchases over $100 or very inexpensive for less and it usually arrives within a couple of days. Use this link to SAVE $100 on your first order, don’t have to join and money back guarantee, you can’t go wrong.
Company founder Rowan Gormley, is a South African born entrepreneur who started NakedWines.com in the U.K. and has brought it to the U.S. and Australia. The company has several thousand angels around the world and is growing rapidly every year since it was founded in 2007. A large percentage of these angels are in the U.S. and growing. Rowan’s vision is to give talented winemakers a chance to create great wines with their angel backing and use the Internet as a vehicle to market and sell their wines.
Alex Farber is a startling young talent that Angels discovered working at a big fancy winery in Napa Valley. Every winery wishes it had an Alex Farber because she’s diligent, passionate and knows her stuff… but most wineries hide their junior talent and shine a spotlight on some old fuddy-duddy consulting oenologist who drops by the winery a few times a year. Angels give credit where credit is due, and Alex now gets to make her own stunning wines (and gets all the applause!) Follow Alex on Face Book.
During this show, Alex and I will not only explain how the program works and how you can get involved but we’ll also be talking about her journey in wine, what lead her to Naked Wines and more importantly the wines she has made in the program.
Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week:
2017 Miriam Alexandra Chenin Blanc – produced at Naked Wines by Alexandra Farber
Fresh and fruit filled aromatics with a hing of tropical sweetness, this wine begs you to take a sip! Light body but with mouth filling fruit the hint of sweetness is balanced with great acidity. Balance is the key word, soft and plush with a lingering finish this wine is a perfect aperitif or great with lighter seafood, chicken and grilled veggies. From Naked Wine and unfortunately out of stock 🙁
