Good Grape: A Wine Blog Manifesto

Good Grape 10 Day Sabbatical: The Blogs I read 5 of 10

Jeff’s/Good Grape Note: I’m on a 10 day sabbatical from writing posts for Good Grape, returning over the weekend of June 16th/17th

In lieu of wine-related posts, I’m taking the opportunity to pull a page from the, “To know a man, look at his bookshelf” school of thought, but instead of my bookshelf, I’m highlighting an RSS feed a day that I keep up with that is non wine-related—grist for the mill, so to speak.

See you back, recharged, invigorated with headspace de-gunked in about a week.

The Blog: Deadspin

Site URL: http://www.deadspin.com/

What I like about the site: This site looks at the seedy, irreverent (the fun) portion of the sports world and often takes shots at the ESPN personalities and the stories they cover. If you ever pined to know who Stuart Scott was trying to hook up with at Super Bowl festivities, than this is the site for you. And, if you don’t look analytically at the media you consume, check out this site and learn a little bit more about how ESPN not only reports sports news, they make sports news.
