I just received an auto-response to an e-mail I sent Punky (Elizabeth) Mahle saying she had left Pax. I wanted to thank her for a donation to a local charity auction Pax supported.

I thought she was one of the most delightful people in winedom to work with. Does anyone have any insights into her leaving and where she is now?

Thanks

Thanks, Eric. I see I'm not the only one who will miss her.

I spoke with Punky today. She is now working with Cultivate, the company who provides the web presence for many wineries. She will be working with many wineries to support their logistics, inventory management and on-line sales. She is very much enjoying this new chapter of her career.

By the way, I got an e-mail this morning from Tripp Donelan, Joe's son responding to my note to Punky. So the service doesn't appear to have skipped a beat so far.

I didn't realize that this was public yet. We use Cultivate Systems for all our sales management. You can check them out at

I just hope she will still pour the beer at the Chili Cookoff.
