Second Glass has had quite the year! If you haven’t heard, we kicked off our first ever
Wine Riot Tour by expanding from just Boston to shows in LA, Chicago, New York and DC! We have seen a ton of great response to Wine Riot all over the country. LA was very unique and loved to talk about us with several
press mentions, Boston welcomed us home with open arms and a sell out and Chicago made us feel right at home and we sold out Saturday night!
Our star player this year has been our new
iPhone and
mobile app. The app helps attendees navigate what can be a daunting selection of wines and actually remember what it was they tried throughout the evening. This also allows us to track which wines were the most popular. These wines are highly reviewed and well liked by the majority of the crowd at Wine Riot and each cities top wines can be viewed by city
here.
We had an average of
one in every four people at the event using it to rate an average of 16 wines per person! With over 200 wines to choose from at each event, it’s great to see people trying a wide variety of wines and not just flocking to the brands they know. In Chicago and LA we had over 5,000 wine reviews each and in Boston we beat that with 10,000 reviews! We are working hard on releasing a new version in October that will include features such as the ability to recommend wines based on yours and your friends preferences and sharing wines with friends! Stay tuned for details.
We are gearing up now for the
Wine Riot in New York, September 23-24, which we are confident will be a great event.
The venue is spectacular and includes an old bank vault, giant metal door and all! Tickets are already on sale and people have been tweeting about it from all over. Exhibitor spots are currently SOLD OUT but respond to the new Wine Riot Liaison, Maureen [at] secondglass [dot] com to be put on the wait list or call 800.430.1553 ext 705.
Washington DC is going to be another great city. We are headed there October 21-22 for Wine Riot in the
Daughters of the American Revolution Constitution Hall. Our team is pretty excited because there will be a jumbotron! We will project real-time displays of reviews made on the app as well as the list of top wines on the big screen. DC's lively wine culture and large pool of millennials will be a great atmosphere for Wine Riot. We also have several plans in the works to improve our iPhone app by then and make it even more useful for rating, finding and recommending wines.
If you want to stay updated on the event as it goes up, be sure to check out our city specific Facebook and Twitter accounts.
