Who am I?

Good afternoon!

Wanted to take this moment to introduce myself to the community, my name is Edward Dudley :) Hi there!

Currently, I split time between Washington State and Virginia, run the family business in Washington State (Winery) and I have two kiddos on the East coast. I have a son (10) and daughter (14)12764446_1115129271850975_5808509248541245925_o.jpg

I'll need to work on the sizing of these pictures in the future, wow!

As I mentioned the family business is a winery in Washington state, been a part of the family since 2007. We produce red wines and white wines, more of a Bordeaux style winery focusing heavily on Cab Sauvs and Merlot with blends associated with those varietals.

I'm also heavily involved in network marketing as well, however, I'll save that for another post :)

So, Heylo all!

Welcome in brother, I have so much to learn myself or I would offer some advice ;p

Well, hello there. I am curious, you are one of those people who can actually know how to taste wine?

It fascinates me how some people have the ability (or learn the ability...I guess?) to actually taste wine in detail.

@sosky Yes, I can smell certain things and taste how certain wines should taste. It takes time to learn the skill but it can be mastered, thanks for asking!

I don't know why I find this things kinda fascinating... Probably because I never gave to much importance in this thing. I can say if something is good or bad.... but when it comes to types of alchool, I am senseless meaning that, I can tell beer from wine obviously, but I can't tell if beer X is better than beer Y... For me beer is beer, wine is wine, etc...

Although I should mention there are certain wines that leave a really shit taste in my mouth. Those I can say are shit. But apart from that, no...

Hello Edward! Welcome to Steemit!

@zazazum Thank you, so very much appreciated!

hello @phoneixrising


you are very much welcome to steemit,a one of its kind in the history of social networks. i will like to share with you some lessons i learnt the hard way.

First,write on your area of strength, don't strugle more to get topics to write on, but when you write based on what you know/do well at, that becomes your brand and fellow steemians will know what to expect from you on every post.


don't beg for followers.


When people follow you on a quip pro quo basis, that's the foundation of not getting upvotes and comments because many of your followers didn't do so because they wanted what you have to offer but rather they are just there as numbers. #don't go for numbers, but value.


When i joined, after my intro post. i went low kay and started engaging with people on their posts and comments and like that,i was getting people that truly liked me for me. i must note that at some post as a newbie, i outrightly asked people to follow me but that was before i learned that it was one of the unwritten rule of steemit;don't beg for followers.


Again,paticipate in contests, it will conect you to people and probably, earn you some steem/steem dollar. and always try to leave a good comment on people's posts. this dose wonders. check out this contest[clickhere]https://steemit.com/fiftywords/@literature-trail/50-word-story-contest-week-19-join-for-a-chance-to-win-1000-trail-and-40-sbd

Finally, learn to engage. Get the esteem app on your phone so that after writing and posting with your pc,you can now use your phone and respond to replys on the go. This will help you build your followers.>/h4>

I hope that this piece will be of grate help to you as it has been for me[though i learnt the hard way]. Follow them and thank me later. : )

once more, you are welcome.
