Wine Talks with Paul K.Building Michael Franzese Wines: Samvel Hakobyan's Immigrant Success Story and Michael Franzese's TransformationWine branding is slow. It is different than other products; more rules, a limited set of consumers, and big brands standing in your way. These are the typical headwinds; unless your Samvel Hakobyan.
