Thank you for being a subscriber! As you may or not know, the content produced here is not monetized as well as what I do often for local businesses. It is a result of much time and effort, so feedback, engagement, referrals, and customers are important. Although charity and volunteer work is rewarding and helpful, and a cool hobby, it is not sustainable for a small business like The Michael Pour.
You being present helps support and validate my attempt to educate and inform the beverage consumer and pass on my knowledge, whether it be in the form of wine, spirits, beer, cocktails, mocktails, or drinks, in general. I encourage you to share my page with others if they are interested in this kind of content and let people know about what I do.
As I always say, “businesses can’t stay in business without customers”. Self-promotion is a necessary reality for small businesses like mine in today’s world. Without your financial support, The Michael Pour may not be around much longer as a business.
This page will no longer be uploaded and shared on social media so you, the subscriber, will be automatically notified when stories are poured. Please share this with your friends and colleagues so they can become a party of this cool, niche community.
In the past, I have asked people on here and social media to suggest topics for discussion (without much success) because I want the content to be tailored to what you want to know and learn about. Sure, you can use ChatGPT and google topics and receive immediate answers and AI description, but will it be a personable response and from a trusted source.
From a credential standpoint – Since the early 2000’s, I have been involved in this industry in some capacity as a business owner, bartender, server, manager, general manager, wine educator, mixology instructor, and consultant working in many different drinking environments and multiple states.
My relocation to CNY and Syracuse area in mid-2024 was supposed to be a strategic and beneficial move given the demographic, universities, location within the Finger Lakes Wine Region, restaurants/bars, and strong cultural footprint. Unfortunately, in my experience, this hasn’t been the case.
