Though I’m spending a lot of time in Germany right now, I’m not a HUGE fan of German wines. Sure there are some awesome vintages out there but they are a bit out of my price range at the present.
Right now, I’m having a late lunch and enjoying a very hearty and meaty Spaghetti Bolognese. I scored on a lovely tasting (and cheap €2.49) bottle of red wine from Burgenland Osterreich, or Austria for you English peeps out there.
2008 was a particularly fine year for wines from the region however I wish this bottle was another year old and then I believe it would have an even fuller taste. For the price, I am in no way disappointed. I fear however, it must be drunk today. Good thing I’m in the mood for a good buzz…
Wine Time TV continues with my ongoing video series. In this show we wrap up the interview featuring Sommelier James King from www.KingGroupEvents.com from San Diego California. In this episode we learn about James King’s most memorable wine experiences at home and abroad (Italy) and I share a glance hinting at my own tragic experiences while in Florence.
What’s all the hubbub about you ask? Well, this terrific person (not me silly) and wonderful blogger has challenged me to a duel. Old school like!
We launched our blog projects around the same time and have decided to go at it head to head, basically on her terms. I’m pretty much along for the ride with the intention of kicking some royal X & 0 butt! So far, I’m doing just that. Have a look;
Visits are the numbers in question here.
At present we’re looking at the month of August and as you can see, over 1600 visits to the blog in that time. Want to see how Andy’s doing? Of course you do!
Since I’m moving over the next few days I won’t be terribly active however I’ll be keeping an eye on how Andy’s Goode Life Blog is doing in our little race. Funny, I can’t even remember what the winner gets here! Got some thoughts? Leave a comment!
Some of you know me within the WinoSpere from having produced a few webisodes of Murphy-Goode TV recently. You may also know that although no stranger to Content Production, I am a new generation wine drinker and I’m sharing my wine culture experiences with all who choose to journey with me so come on along! Welcome!
It’s been my sincerest intention as of late to hop on over to the Murphy-Goode TV Blog and give some closure to that whole experience. Not that it’s over but certainly on an open-ended hiatus. Good times.
Instead I’ve found myself inspired to expand on what I started as a result of participating in Murphy-Goode’s A REALLY GOOD JOB campaign. This here Wine Time TV business. Well, it’s more of a serious hobby that earns a little like no money. Good English, eh?
This next episode featuring an interesting wine professional named James King is the first of hopefully many cool interviews with real life wine Pros. If you can see yourself appearing on Wine Time TV don’t expect me to read your mind! Let me know! Drop a line at my email addy and tell me how wicked you are. I look forward to it.
I’ll be experimenting with initial shows trying to find my way and right style for the show. How to relate to as many folks as possible is the hardest thing of all. So, give me time to find your wavelength or let me know what it is. Otherwise, don’t hate. Participate.
