It seems that Andy Warhol was right

“In the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutes.”

-Andy Warhol

The nice folks over at Sacre Bleu Wines have decided to make an honest man out of Andy, at least with regards to AWB’s 15 minutes. They interviewed both Amy and me and then gave us a very good write-up. The link above will take you directly to the article, but here is an excerpt to whet your appetite.

Another Wine Blog is one of the few wine blogs whose material is posted exclusively by a wife/husband team. We’re accustomed to The Dudes, Good Grapes, Yarrow’s, Heimoff’s and Women and Wine, The Harlots and Gonzo Gastronomy but this seems to be the most interesting battle of the sexes on our street. With Valentine’s Day hovering and love in the air we asked Amy and Joe if they would talk with us about some things including what drives their joint creativity and who really manages the bar there.

Head on over to Sacre Bleu Wines to read the entire article, including the Q&A with both of us. I may be a bit biased, but I think they did a great job with it.

Interestingly enough, they published every question that we answered, except for the one we struggled with, and had to put the most thought and effort into answering. They had asked us “What famous couple were we most like?” Initially, I had come up with some throw away answers like Sid and Nancy and Fred and Wilma. Amy threw out Jack Bauer and Chloe, which cracked me up, before hitting on what was the only possible answer: Judd Nelson and Molly Ringwald in The Breakfast Club. While that may be too dated of a reference these days, we really had a lot of fun with the whole exercise, not to mention lots of subsequent amusement (mainly one-sided) provided by impregnating the prom queen jokes.

Andy also said, “Don’t pay any attention to what they write about you. Just measure it in inches.” In this case, Sacre Bleu was quite kind to us in both respects.

Valentine Gifts for the Wine Lover

Give in to your lover’s Pinot envy, and select a luscious Pinot Noir. Or perhaps some dessert wine? Nothing says “I love you” like a bottle of Sauternes, Late Harvest Gewurztraminer or Late Harvest Viognier for those who prefer white, or a Port or Port-style wine to pair with chocolate.

Not Just Another Wine Sample

It doesn’t just apply when you’re promoting wine. Think of an e-mail like a knock on the door. The person on the other side may open the door just to see who it is, but she’s more apt to talk with you, and let you give your pitch if you at least appear to be interested in her, the person.

Top Ten Best Drinking Movies

After exhaustive research by our panel of judges here is a list of movies that star alcohol in some way. Conspicuously missing are a lot of quite good wine movies. Once I started making the list it became clear to me that Alan Rickman’s Steve Spurrier would pass out long before the spurned Arthur was even warmed up.

Guilty; As Charged. Should I Blame Parker?

Are you influenced by wine rating systems? Will you avoid buying a wine that scores below a certain number? Because, if you’re like me, there are probably a number of wines you’ve really enjoyed when you had no idea how they were ranked.
