I find it amazing it has been 13 years already since I created the Texas Wine Lover (TWL) blog on March 20th, 2011. Time sure flies!
When I am asked what Texas Wine Lover is, I say that it started as a blog, but it soon became much more than a blog with many resources such as the Texas winery listings, Texas vineyard listings, and more. Last year was a continuation of the massive additions I did with the website Guide, Plan Your Trip, and the Texas Wine Lover mobile app which further enhances the Texas wine resources available.
I didn’t think of the consequences after I added the new additions because it in effect quadrupled the amount of work I was already doing! I solved a large part of that problem last year when Amie Nemec and I became business partners. That allowed some of the items to be divided among us. At the end of last year, unfortunately, Amie had to stop being a co-owner for personal reasons, but she is still available to consult with me when I need guidance and suggestions.
I retired from my day job last year which I thought would help with my workload. I was spending time on Texas Wine Lover only at night and on weekends, so I thought things would really be easier after retirement. I’m still trying to determine what went wrong with that idea because my nighttime job became a 24 hours, 7 days a week job!
