Les Badges de la Semaine (Lively & Rockin’ Edition)

Date: Fri, Sep 17, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

A short-and-sweet little ditty for a couple of badge-worthy wine recommendations this week.  I also want to thank everyone who has contacted me through various channels with their positive vibes for the badges; so far I’m enjoying using them so they’ll be sticking around: 2008 Three Rivers Winery Insania Red (Columbia Valley): A bit hot [...]

The Role of a Wine Blogger Post WBC10

Date: Thu, Sep 16, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

An alternative title for this article might be “Sorry, But I Gotta Be Me” or “The 2010 Wine Blog Awards Messed With My Head.” One thing that I know about good, compelling blogging (because that’s the stuff that I like to read) is that you can’t be afraid to bare all and let readers inside [...]

Wine Review Triple-Play (From Opener to Aerator to Glass)

Date: Wed, Sep 15, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

Because I’m perpetually behind in all aspects of my life, I now find myself spending time that I don’t have perusing productivity websites looking for ways to get time “back.” So far, I’m (at best) breaking even in terms of getting back the time I spend perusing productivity websites. One of the cardinal sins of [...]

Wine Revolution Calling: Queensryche’s Geoff Tate Talks Insania

Date: Mon, Sep 13, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

To put it mildly, today’s interviewee guest is a bona fide bad-ass rock star. Oh, yeah – he happens to know his wine, as well. Geoff Tate is best known as the voice behind uber-rockers Queensryche, who garnered critical acclaim after releasing the brilliant hard rock concept album Operation: Mindcrime in 1988 – followed shortly [...]

Two Badge-Worthy (And Cheap!) Whites

Date: Fri, Sep 10, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

Ok, so one of them isn’t that cheap… and come to think of it, the better term is inexpensive because neither of them are cheaply made… whatever, you’ll get what I mean…! Anyway, we’ve got two badges to hand out this week, both to whites from the sample pool that really impressed me.  Here they [...]

Are Wine Clubs A Good Buy? (1WD on Mint.com)

Date: Thu, Sep 9, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

I was recently interviewed for an article that appeared on financial management website Mint.com’s Frugal Foodie blog, titled Will Joining a Wine Club Make or Break Your Budget. The topic (obviously) was the potential financial implications of joining a wine club, and how to find the right club without getting fleeced. This was strange one [...]

I Drink The Blood of Summer and Toast To Its Death! (Rosé Round-Up)

Date: Mon, Sep 6, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

This Summer has been a season of meteorological discontent in the greater Delaware Valley. The (multiple) successive (and repressive) heatwaves might actually make the local wines interesting to taste once they’re finally bottled, but it hasn’t exactly jived with the tastes of the rest of us.

Planet of the Grapes, and “Going Publix” in Your Pocket

Date: Thu, Sep 2, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

In my ongoing effort to, uhm, branch out in the wine world (read: get paid), I’ve got myself involved in a couple more ‘extra-blogger’ activities that I thought I’d share.  They are geared more towards beginner (I know, I hate that term too, but I can’t manage a better one) wine enthusiasts and so I [...]
