1. I’ve been busy selling off all of my earthly positions in preparation for last week’s rapture. 2. I have only recently returned from a top secret mission in the Middle East. 3. Hey, creating a new religion is hard work, bub. 4. I’ve decided that this internet thing, it’s just a fad. 5. Writer’s block is a bitch. 6. [...]
For the second week in a row, I have to put my man Hardy Wallace in this spot. I can’t think of a trip that produced more great material than Hardy’s trip to Bordeaux. His “reviews” of Petrus and Lafite Rothschild are absolutely classic. Hardy is now back in his beloved “Healdsburgundy”, and it will be interesting to see if [...]
If there is one person on these here interwebz who I would want to read about their trip to Bordeaux, and that person is Mr. Hardy Wallace. He is using the most innovative scoring system known to man while he visits the classic wine region. So far he has posted from Chateau Latour, Mouton, Chateau Ausone, and Chateau Belair Monange. [...]
One of the cool things about wine tastings is observing the differences in people’s palates. Not only will different people like different wines, but they will also find different things in the wine. Sometimes hearing these observations can help you pinpoint that thing that you can’t quite identify in the nose, and sometimes they can just make you scratch your [...]
I am sorry to announce that this week will be the last edition of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly that I will write. I appreciate everyone who has read and commented on these posts in the past. You are all very important to me, and I am very happy to have been able to provide a little humor [...]
One of the blogs that I have to admit that I haven’t paid nearly as much attention to as I should is the Louisville Juice blog that is published by Tom Johnson. Every time I go there I read fantastic content, and yet I just haven’t surfed over as often as I should. I plan to rectify that. This week [...]
Making another stop in The Good this week is Vintank, who just released a great report on what 2011 has in store for the wine industry in regards to technology. 1WineDude posts that he thinks the report might be too optimistic, and it might well be, but I still like the thought process behind the report. I also have an [...]
Some of you may have seen my brief explanation of what Vinotology is on the new website. I have always gotten a lot of questions about this, and I finally decided that I would just post it on the site. Vinotology is a cult that I’m starting, ala Scientology. I read once where L. Ron Hubbard said that he didn’t [...]
Finally, the moment that you have all been waiting for; wine Twitter star Bobby Parkerchuck has granted an interview to the folks at Vintank, who just keep bringing the thunder (sorry) on their blog. Check out all the shocking revelations posted here. Those of you who have been reading my blog for a while know that one of my hot [...]
A while back I wrote about a tasting event that I participated in that was hosted by the folks at WineTwits. The tasting was a blogger event that featured a blind tasting of several Australian Shiraz wines. One of the unique features of the tasting was the way that it combined local live tasting events, Twitter tasting, and a video [...]
