I have a post on the Wine Sediments portion of the Well Fed network. You can find it here.
If have haven’t been reading this blog site, you should be. It has unique content, interesting perspectives and everybody that writes for the site, except for me, is a wine professional in some capacity.
So, that’s motivation to bring your "A" game when writing about a topic or coming up with a unique take on a common wine related issue.
The other good thing is I can completely be psuedo-columnist and vaccillate and ride the fence on issues from week to week—which is fun.
This week, I write about wine and the Indianapolis 500. Mario Andretti, a former winner, and perennial runner-up owns a winery that makes some good vino and both his son and grandson drove in the race this weekend—Marco being beaten at the very last moment in a very exciting finish.
Check out the post and let me know what you think.

I have a new post on the Wine Sediments portion of the Well Fed network. You can find it here.
They say that the two best days of a man’s life is the day he buys his boat and the day he sells his boat.
The money pit connotation aside, wine does play a role in every good boat christening, and I explore that tradition loosely.
If you are not dry docked and already own a boat, but think that maybe re-naming your baby sounds like a good idea ... perhaps something associated with wine like: "No Effing Merlot" ... than you’ll need to check out this site which gives instruction for the re-naming process. And, yes, it specifies Champagne and no "effing" sparkling wine.
Centi’ Anni!

I have a post on the Wine Sediments portion of the Well Fed Network again this week. Mark Fisher, the editor of the wine portion of the site and also a wine writer and blogger at Uncorked, can take credit for a deliciously appropriate headline for my post: "Hoisting Wine Snobs on their own Petards."
Though, that one isn’t nearly as good as his recent headline that exclaimed: "2005 Bordeaux: A Fine Line between Sober Analysis and Orgasm." Some of the articles on the vintage have bordered on orgasmic, making it not only funny, but also true.
The crux of my post is the ongoing debate between wine with a keen sense of place and wine as recreational beverage enjoyed by many—and an increasing amount of of twenty-somethings with dubious reverence for the vine.
I’m reminded of a holiday party I went to four or five years ago when the hostess (in her mid-twenties) offered me a glass of red wine from a previously opened bottle, served it to me over ice, and offhandedly remarked that they had "sooooo" much wine leftover from Thanksgiving.
True story. Red wine. Opened bottle—three weeks old. Over ice.
I played it off, excused myself to go to the restroom and poured the offending liquid down the drain.
So, make no mistake, the young ‘uns have a lot to learn around the conventions of wine, but I don’t necessarily look askance at folks just earning their stripes. Heck, I’m far from knowing anything about wine, and really, that is its allure. But, I do strongly believe that all people deserve respect in regards to how they enjoy wine. Unless of course you drink White Zinfandel or Arbor Mist, then, well, that’s a greater sin then serving a glass of red over ice.

I have a post on the Wine Sediments portion of the Well Fed Network this week.
There has been a great deal of media attention over the last few weeks about the VERY popular teen and twentysomething social networking site called myspace.com
Critics see it as a pandora’s box for the glamorization of youthful excess as well as a forum for unsavory adults to prey on kids.
I’m not sure how true either of those are outside of isolated incidents that are spun on the news—at the best myspace.com is no worse then the risk of dropping kids off at the mall, and at its worst its like having your kids go to a party at the cross town high school where names and faces are more foreign—but this is all online mind you. Parents and adults it seems can only filter youthfulness based on their own experiences and technology kind of throws a wrench into that one ...
But, what’s really interesting, and the facet that I loosely touch on is the fact that many twentysomethings set up their profile and list wine as as a part of their affinity groupings. And, secondarily, because of the way Gen. Y likes to be marketed to, myspace.com opens up an entirely new set of rules for wine marketers that, frankly, don’t get how the previous generation—Gen. X likes to be marketed to.
The coming wine boom proves to be a couple of things—great for the wine industry in terms of volume and consumption, but also interesting in that the rules are changing in an industry that hasn’t demonstrated itself to be terribly progressive.
Check out the post and let me know what you think.

Recently, a wine blog started that has regular contributors from the influential wine bloggers in the community and it also accepts some freelance contributions.
When you get a moment, check out Wine Sediments and my guest article posted yesterday:
Is there Wine at the Bada Bing?
I’m flattered to be able to put a couple of thoughts together and have it on their site.
Mark, the wine writer for the Dayton Daily News and the writing voice behind Uncorked acts as Editor and all of the content is fresh from the writers main blog.
You’ll find a diversity of opinion and thought that runs the gamut on wine and the wine industry and for that reason, it’s a good, regular read.
