The Good
I love seeing multiple approaches to the same issue. This week there were two great posts about the same general topic. One of them was possibly the funniest post I’ve read this year, and the other was a really well thought out exploration of the same topic.
Not that it matters, since nobody reads my posts but other bloggers, and I have no influence, but the first entry was by the great Hardy Wallace, and is spew wine out of your nose, crazy ass funny. Doesn’t hurt that he also makes great points in the article.
The second is from Josh Wade on his Drink Nectar blog. Josh’s post isn’t as funny (sorry Josh), but it is very insightful, and has really generated some great conversation.
The Bad
There is little in this world that is sadder than wasted beer. The Grapes and Grains blog has the sad story, complete with video evidence, of the death of a homebrew. It brought a tear to my eye.
The Ugly
Josh Hermsmeyer, aka the Pinot Blogger, whom I hope to defeat in the upcoming Wino Fantasy Baseball league, posted the following videos on Twitter. This is two parts of the same episode, and I think we can all agree that part two locks up the Ugly for this week. Enjoy!
Drink well, drink often, drink local!
Hilarious… what goes in the hole comes out the hole
Hey, can I get in on this Fantasy league action?
I love this weekly feature!
I’ve never seen that episode. That is almost as funny as Borat’s wine tasting.
Hardy’s post is truly monumental, as an ass kissing, uninfluential blogger, the post is in my hall of fame!
Thanks AGAIN for the mention. You really have created something that people look forward to every week.

Ben, much thanks for sharing the pain of this poor beer’s death….really, its the hilarious comments and outpouring of sympathy that have made the whole thing bearable.
Despite the fact it will never be drunk, the failed Winter Ale will never be forgotten.

Haha, funny. I like how he pronounced Pinot Noir.
HA! I love this video…saw it a couple years ago and finally posted it on the blawg a couple months ago. Glad others have seen and appreciate.
SWEET BERRY WINE! Also, nice use of the “extreme close up”…you may have the chops to produce a spaghetti western yet!
