New Features on Calwineries are Officially Live
Since Calwineries launched in November, we have been trying to connect our users and visitors to California’s wine country. California is a huge state, and is considered by many to be its own independent wine producing country. To help bridge the gap, we have recently launched a couple of new features to foster a deeper connection to California and its wine.
Rather than trying to tell you what to like, we wanted to let you decide for yourself. For each winery and wine, you can click the “mark as favorite” button which saves that page to your profile as a bookmark. Clicking the favorite button is also a vote for that wine or winery.
Rather than organizing the wines and wineries alphabetically, we decided to organize them based on their popularity in our community. Each time someone marks a wine or winery as a favorite, the number in the favorites ticker increases. Our winery and wine pages are organized so that the most popular are at the top, which hopefully makes these pages more relevant to you.
Marking a winery as a favorite not only keeps track of what you like, but it also keeps you up to date with that winery. In your profile, you can see any recent news from the wineries you marked as favorites. You can also sign up for the RSS feed and get the news sent straight into your RSS reader. By visiting your profile, you can see any recent news or releases from your favorites.
The most recent addition to Calwineries is functionality that allows you to sign up for winery mailing lists and wine clubs. This is the next step in connecting you to your favorite wineries and wines. Instead of having to go to each winery website to sign up for mailings, you can do it straight through Calwineries.
We are proud to welcome Inertia Beverage Group to the Calwineries family. Inertia is an industry leader in winery software, and we are happy to work with their team and client wineries. Calwineries is continuing to grow and develop, and we would like to thank you, our users and visitors, for your support. If you have any suggestions, please let us know.

Yes, it is far from a typical winery website. It is more of a history lesson of winemaking. And really tells you little about his wines. I just bought a case today of Pleaides XIV and a bottle of the 2003 Andromeda Pinot Noir.

I've had a few Sean Thackrey wines before, they are quite good. I don't get the website though, its kind of weird.

Ryan, what type of info do you need? I know their website (http://www.wine-maker.net) is not too helpful. Their contact info is: Sean Thackrey, PO Box 58, Bolinas, CA 94924, Phone: 415-868-1781 E-mail: thackrey@earthlink.net

@ Richard: we would need some information about the winery. I just did a basic search for sean thackrey and didn't find much. if you could reach out to them, that would definitely get the ball rolling. we would love to have his winery on our site.

One other question...what is the procedure for adding additional wineries to this site? For example, one of my favorites, Sean Thackrey, is not listed here.
