Here just some random items and thoughts.
- For all of the reputation that wine drinkers have as being snobs, attending wine events always seems to lead to meeting the friendliest people on the planet. Rooms full of strangers quickly become rooms full of friends once the wine starts to flow. There are people that I have shared a glass and a conversation with at wine events whose path I never would have crossed otherwise. Some of these people treat me like a long lost friend when wine happens to cause us to see one another again. Considering that I live in a city of over 4 million people, that is quite a remarkable thing.
- Speaking of wine events, the second one put on by my friend, Kwjuana Thomas, last night at Bar Boheme was another fantastic success. Even with the addition of more seats the crowd spilled out of the tasting area and into the bar. There is a reason for this, as Kwjuana is personable, very knowledgeable, and most of all, possesses a deep passion for wine. Oh yeah, and she is a lot of fun. All of which makes me very happy to announce that she has offered to pop in now and then to guest blog here. I am looking forward to reading whatever she has to say.
- A site that I posted about a while back, Must Love Wine, is really growing. This site is a lot like what MySpace once was, except for grown-up winos. Check it out if you haven’t already.
- And speaking of sites I have mentioned here, the folks at Drinkplanner just keep posting highly entertaining articles.
- And speaking of THIS site, I plan to do a redesign soon. I’m not exactly sure when this will occur, but I am open to suggestions on what changes to implement. If you have an idea, a request, or a comment please send it to me or leave it as a comment.
