Oz and James’s Big Wine Adventure

[Spittoon - wine drink and food.] The contrast between the rarefied atmosphere of Pichon Comtesse de Lalande with some back-shed made glugging wine was great; I just wish Clarke would actually answer May's questions.

UK's Top Wine Audiocast

[Spittoon - wine drink and food.] It comes in second to Jamie Oliver's podcast in the larger food category. I have never developed a routine for listening to audiocasts, and feel guilty if I miss Tim's regular shows (Semillon being the latest).

Wine Tasting - White, Germany

[Ð§Ñ‚Ð¾ Ð²Ñ‹Ñ€Ð¾ÑÐ»Ð¾, Ñ‚Ð¾ Ð²Ñ‹Ñ€Ð¾ÑÐ»Ð¾] The review is good, and maybe I can even see why, but it just seems to me that this particular wine and I don't match. Considering that it took me three months (or maybe more) to finish the bottle, and my first instinct was to dilute it with something, I'm definitely not buying it again.

Silverado SOLO Cabernet Sauvignon

[Luxist] If you are a fan of Stag's Leap wines but not ready to splurge on the Stag's Leap collection, you could always settle on a single bottle of the 2002 SOLO Cabernet Sauvignon from Silverado Vineyards. The wine is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon made from grapes grown exclusively in the winery's Stags Leap District Estate Vineyards, The wine highlights one distinct vineyard and has a deep ruby color with notes of cherry, cassis and blackberry and layered hints of spice.

Pinot 2.0, Wine by Online Collaboration

[Luxist] Now they are working with wine podcaster Alan Baker (aka The Cellar Rat) to create Pinot 2.0, which is the first wine to be made via online consumer collaboration. Group members participate and make decisions through Crushpad's online forum and Baker's videos narrate each step of the wine's progress (local Rat Packers in the Bay Area are also in the process).

Pink Ice Wine & Chocolate

[Becks & Posh] Almost six years ago I was stuck in Vancouver, Canada, for three weeks waiting for the visa that would allow me to come and work in the United States. I was staying, by myself, in a hotel at the bottom of Granville Street and because I had no cooking facilities, I was forced to eat out solo in cafes and sushi bars most of the time.

Coturri Tasting at Riverside Wine and Imports

[what the hell _does_ a vegan eat anyway?] We did four dishes tonight to pair with the wines listed above -- and yes, we went with the raw pizza as the opener. Risky perhaps, but it worked wonderfully with the wine -- I think you'll see more raw foods sneaking into the tastings from now on ;)
