So, what's your favorite wine information sites????? [Other than this one

My all time Fav is Gary Vaynerchuk's Wine Library TV.
http://tv.winelibrary.com
He does reviews of wines in a very comical, yet interesting enough fashion. I've learned a lot about developing a palette from Gary. I've been watching hime from about episode 80 or so. I'm a Vayniac, and I'm spreading the thunder! (You'll have to watch a few episodes to understand that) Edited by: Dean

Thanks Dean, I liked that a lot. Is there a way to view older reviews? I would probably like the one he didnt!

How often does he release new reviews?

 

[Dean]

New reviews happen almost every day, but sometimes it moves to every other day. Usually 3 per week minimum. No weekend updates though.

It made me go out and buy a South African Cab. Sauv. and dang if it aint good. I would like it oaked a little more but I couldnt find that Seiderberg wine. Question - Why do they always spit it out. I can see if you are tasting a lot of wines so you dont get ripped but 3 wines, does it hold in flavor or something.

 

[Dean]

Gary typically records the episodes for the week in 1 sitting, so he spits it out. I have seen him pretty ripped in a few episodes.

Last year, we went to a wine festival in Vancouver, and there were over 300 wines to try

I knew enough to spit, however, Meighan, my sweetheart, didn't know enough to spit. LOL! She was ripped before we even got past the first row of 20.

 

[Wade E]

300 wines, I would spit out the ones I didnt like and tough out the rest!

When I click that link it takes me to the homepage of the fine vine wine forums?


Is that supposed to be right?

 

[grapeman]

Not sure what is going on with the link. Highlight the link and control-c to copy it, and paste in the browser and it will go there. What's up Masta?

 

[Dean]

I fixed the link, but I have no idea what happened to the original link? I certainly did not put in the FVW site, as we are already here
