Phew, if you blink or miss a day, you miss a lot. The wine blogosphere is rife with lots of interesting stuff lately. Check out the following links from the wine blog digerati and some of their musings ….
Tim at Winecast has the post: Wine Geeks in a Virtual World
This details a meeting of some blogging folks on Josh’s (from www.pinotblogger.com) Island. The possibilities with Second Life and VR are really fascinating.
Mark at Uncorked details a small world incident that has to be read—he comes in contact with an owner of the winery in a colliding set of circumstances that can only happen in one those “Can you freakin’ believe it” moments in time. Read it here.
Alder at Vinography, who isthisclose to really hitting a larger consciousness in the world of wine, references a mention in the current issue of News & Word Report on his site today. Kudos and continued Godspeed to Alder for fightin’ the good fight in emerging as a new voice in the world of wine. His post can be found here.
One of the best new wine blogs, in my estimation, is GrapeCrafter. I think he’s still trying to find his voice, but the mission, in the writer’s words: “connecting the human soul with the soul of a place by rendering its grapes into liquid music.” Check out his blog here.
Dr. Vino has an excellent post on Homaro Cantu, his restaurant Moto and the avant garde food movement that’s been going on with Cantu and a number of other disciples. As an aside, Cantu seems to have a publicist working overtime with a cover feature in Fast Company and elsewhere in ’06. But, alas, it must be with some bit of envy that Alinea, a Chicago neighbor, is named best restaurant of the year by Gourmet magazine.
And, finally, fitting to finish with them both because they both are doing some of the most interesting writing in the wine blogosphere, Dr. Vino and Tom at Fermentation weigh in on Gallo’s latest marketing efforts to take over a whole freakin’ appellation. You can read it here and here.
