Around the Wine Blogosphere: Wine Tasting Tutorial from the Nation of Kazakhstan

A quick post today—fitting for a warm Spring day ...

Mary at Dover Canyon had a recent post on wine scoring worksheets and resources to get started on doing group wine evaluation ... Liz at Inertia Beverage Group has some tips for using video, and especially wineries using video via YouTube.

Taken together, here’s a YouTube video of Borat doing a wine tasting in Jackson, Mississippi. Ah, the Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.

Borat Wine Tasting (WARNING: This is at least PG-13):

If Borat isn’t your speed, here’s a video of country music legend Merle Haggard singing, “Little Ole Wine Drinker Me” a song that starts with, “I’m praying for rain in California
So the grapes can grow and they can make more wine…”

Need to kill an hour or three? Search “wine” or a similar variation on YouTube. Better yet, don’t do that. Open a bottle of vino and head outside. It is Spring after all.
