I'm going to go out on a short limb and guess that most users here don't understand who Vintank is or much about the wine industry in general. The group at Vintank are hardly 'middlemen wanting some biz dev money'. I've had the pleasure recently to meet Paul Mabray as I'm currently diving into the wine world myself with an idea I've already pivoted on once with, and I can say with a lot of confidence that these aren't just another group of marketing guys trying to make a buck. Paul has a phenomenal reputation in the wine world and is one of the preeminent voices when it comes to discussing how to bring the old way of thinking by most wineries to the new ways of social media. If things went down as Paul described, then Scvngr snubbed a whole industry, not just one company. Edit: Vintank also share the same passion for unifying and making wine 'facts' free for all in the same way that SimpleGeo does with location data. Anyone who spends more than 5 minutes in the wine world knows the horrible state of fragmented / incomplete wine facts (not reviews,tasting notes,ratings) and how that holds the industry back as a whole. Just trying to paint a picture of who Vintank is for those here who don't know.
