Well, if you want to do something right, you have to get organized first. Consequently, Corkscrew Productions, LLC was founded in 2002.

If you want the skinny, you should know that Ken Ohr, (CEO) and Len Watson (EVP) were having a meal at one of Chicago's great Italian restaurants when Ken lamented (as he swirled his glass.though it's such a habit that we've seen him do it with his coffee cup) that nobody's "out there" talking about wine.

Ken knew a lot about what was going on from his extensive media background. Being a wine-lover didn't hurt, either.

Ken and Len agreed to see what could be developed - but it had to be down to earth, fun, and not talk down or lecture anyone. More, anyone can clink glasses. The Wine Experience needed to do more.like actually provide useful information.

It worked. Witness the growth of stations and of the site. From there, the company examined related lifestyle and lifestage interests and set out to develop media concepts centered around some of these. Corkscrew has a number of concepts in development so stay tuned for news on this front, too.

The only other thing that we'd add is that it's so much fun working on something that you really love. OK, one other thing. We enjoy hearing from you. Email, call or snail mail, let us have your thoughts. We do our very best to be prompt in our responses.
