Can't wait to hear your experiences.
I laugh out loud (truly -- not that bullshit LOL stuff) when I read your zany posts, but I really love when you get real and right from the heart.
Loved the line, "Our time here is to work, to learn, and perhaps also for me, to replace reaction and distraction with intention."
Can't wait to say hello at WBC this year.
Cheers!

Shake Ridge Day 1
From the time we left Healdsburg, the temperature had risen about 20 degrees. Though it might be a stretch to refer to Hburg as “cool climate”- Where we were headed, was certainly not. The road to Sutter Creek isn’t the prettiest one. After cutting across Carneros and the south section of...
Abandoned vines?
Hmmmmm.....
Sounds like the first vintage of Scarlet Harlot!

Cucamonga Old Vine Zinfandel
Good Morning Gentle Readers, In the shadow of I-15 near old Route 66 this abandoned Cucamonga Zinfandel carries on the tradition on its own. As Ever, TWC
Congratulations!

Happy Anniversary Darlin'
Good Morning Gentle Readers, Three houses, a dozen and a half cats, four dogs, and two kids later, we're celebrating 26 years together. May 18, 1985 It's a school day and a short one at that, which precludes a leisurely afternoon at a sidewalk cafe in Palm Springs. Instead, we'll celebrate at ...
Great tip.
I love sparkling wine, roses and QPR, so I'll be checking this pick.
Cheers!

Wine of the week: Casteller Brut Rose NV
The two most unappreciated wines in the wine world are rose and sparkling wine. Don't believe me? Let the Wine Curmudgeon quote from sales data: Nielsen doesn't even track rose, which is apparently lumped in with blush wines, a category that includes white zinfandel. As near as I can tell, mayb...

The House Blond's St Val's Poem
A night of falling stars The streets piled with lonely cars A facade of love that is not there The absence of hope is in the air A child holds her mothers hand Staring at the silent land Her face is plain and dull and sad It lightens up when she sees her lad One last thing there is to...
A glass of awesomeness coupled with a can of whoopass.
Spot on!

Dirty South Wine: Rules Of Digital Engagement
In 2011, I've been bombarded by ridiculous amounts of horrible digial / social marketing. I need to vent a little. 1. I will not be Facebook "friends" with your business. It is a violation of Facebook terms and conditions to have a personal profile page for your biz. It comes across as pervy. ...
Awesome!
It's the new Wine Harlots Guide to Life.

10 Things The Wine Industry Could Learn From Hip-Hop
The wine business could learn a lot about business through Hip-Hop. 1. Get Shot or Shoot Your Winemaker (a lot) 50 Cent Was Shot 9 times before Get Rich or Die Tryin' Hit the Streets... Millions of copies were sold for the sheer fact that we all know he got shot...like all over the place. Ho...
Riff-raff here, checking in with my two cents.
It’s seems a bit silly, more of the adult version of the playground argument.
“I’m qualified!”
“No you’re not! I am!”
“I am! I am!”
In the Enobytes comments, Pamela indicates certification can be completed in as little as a two-day course, which seems to me less about gaining knowledge about the subject, and more about bolstering egos. A faux diploma isn’t going to fool anyone for long.
I think the intent of the suggestion was to bolster better wine writing, but positing that all wine writers have a MW, WSET or a BS from Davis (or some random Wine School of the Week), doesn’t guarantee good writing.

Certifying wine writers and keeping the riff raff out of the business
Imagine the Wine Curmudgeon's shock and surprise when he read this: "In all honesty, I think most readers would prefer to learn from those that were educated in a specialized field (wine) and those that have real hands on experience (at a restaurants, wineries, sales positions, winemaking and s...
Great list!
We love bargain wines.
Haven't had any of these selections yet.
I'll will give me something to look for.
Here's to a prosperous new year.
Cheers!

The 2010 $10 Wine Hall of Fame
Four wines made the 2010 $10 Wine Hall of Fame and a fifth was an honorable mention, the most since the Wine Curmudgeon started the Hall almost a decade ago. Details are here. The wines are: • A California chenin blanc from Vinum Cellars called CNW, for Chard-No-Way. • Notorius, a white wine fro...
