Ran across this blog entry today and think it really nails what is at the root of the decline in sales of French wine of late. Although some Americans have stayed away from French imports for political or exchange rate issues, I believe that most of the declines are due to lack of plain-ol’ marketing.
Great entry, Effern, and thanks for your comment on my Riesling show!

The New York Times has a short piece about the CellarTracker website. I was not familiar with this until I saw the story, but it looks very promising and a great use of the web.

Here’s an interesting case of science being halted based more upon emotion and politics than public health issues. While I don’t know much about the details here, I will be studying the issue for a future segment on the show. If you know more about this, post a comment.

Good news for wine lover’s in Florida, who look to be able to import wine from out-of-state sources. Let’s hope there is more positive action in this area from other states who ban such shipments.

Great essay on how individual taste is when it comes to wine. What I find transcendent, Robert Parker might find pedestrian, but that is what makes wine so compelling IMHO.
More on this subject on my next podcast…
