Hello ,

There’s a lot happening at the school right now, and while our new podcast is already gaining traction (thank you for that!), this is something even bigger—and it involves you.

A team of brilliant (and slightly eccentric) developers has been working to capture the knowledge and personalities of Alana and me in a groundbreaking new wine app. Besides the developers and myself, you are among the first to be invited to test it.

I’d love for you to try it. The app is available for both iPhone and Android, and your insights will help us refine and perfect it.

This is an exclusive beta, and sharing access outside this group is prohibited at this stage.

Details on how to access the app and provide feedback are below.

Looking forward to hearing what you think!

Cheers,
Keith Wallace
