I’ve been toying with the idea of trying out Twitter for a while and today I finally signed up. I don’t know the lingo yet, so I don’t know if it makes me a Twit, a Twitterer or a Tweeter. My plan was to sign up, dip my toe in the water, check it out, […]
It’s time once again for Wine Blogging Wednesday and the host this month is Tim at Winecast. For those stumbling upon this who don’t know what Wine Blogging Wednesday is, it’s a monthly event when wine bloggers from around the globe all write about a common topic. The theme this month, for WBW #45, is Old World Riesling. […]
A new blog has surfaced within the past few weeks that is lampooning the wine blog community and I think it’s great. Wine-ing 2.0 is like The Onion for wine blogs. It pokes fun at wine bloggers with satirical articles which may or may not have a sliver of truth to them. Some of my favorite posts are: […]
It’s once again Wine Blogging Wednesday and I’m glad to be a part of it again. I skipped out last month as the theme was “comfort wine” and quite frankly I don’t have one—comfort isn’t a reason for me to drink wine. But this month it’s French Cabernet Franc for Wine Blogging Wednesday #44 and the […]
Another Cincinnati International Wine Festival has come and gone. My wife and I had too much wine (just like every year), but it was fun. I attended the festival with a dilemma this year. On one hand, I wanted to take really good notes so that I could write all about it here. On the […]
The 2008 Cincinnati International Wine Festival is just days away, March 28 & 29. I’m looking forward to the event and recommend you check it out if you’re in the area. Even if you’re not from the area, it may be worth the trip as it’s quite an event. The festival brings over 600 wines […]
According to an article published yesterday in the Financial Times, Amazon.com is gearing up to enter the online wine sales market. Amazon is currently recruiting a Senior Buyer “responsible for the acquisition of massive new product selection, as Specialty Foods is an emerging segment and the Sr. Buyer will work to build out entirely new […]
I saw an article in the Cincinnati Enquirer today about a new wine restaurant opening in Cincinnati, named Lavomatic. It’s yet another establishment backed by Cincinnati restaurant mogul Jean-Robert de Cavel. The wine bar / restaurant sounds like something worth checking out. I particularly like the fact that they aren’t marking up wine prices as […]
Once again, it’s Wine Blogging Wednesday. The one day each month when wine bloggers around the world all write about a common theme. The theme this month is Just Seven Words, hosted by Andrew at Spitoon. The idea with Just Seven Words is to limit the tasting notes to seven words. Here’s how Andrew clarified […]
Researchers at the California Institute of Technology hypothesized that marketing factors, such as the price of a product, could have an impact on experiential perceptions such as pleasantness. And they put the idea to the test with wine. In the study, recently published by the National Academy of Sciences, researchers told participants that they would […]
