Christianne’s Fave Five For the Week - Vinoblog Round-up

by admin on November 8, 2008

This is a new weekly deal where I will pick my favorite five posts from the world of wine blogs posted in the last 7 days.  Feel free to let me know about your blog and I will check it out!

My top five, in no particular order:

  1. 1WineDude visited Opus One Winery after the Wine Bloggers Conference and challenged himself to write a news journal worthy account of his visit.  I’d say he succeeded.  Nice job Dude!  
  2. Dr. Debs at Good Wine Under $20 did the round-up for the latest wine book club reviewing Dr. Vino’s book, Wine Politics: How Governments, Environmentalists, Mobsters and Critics Influence the Wines We Drink.  Sounds like a perfect election day topic!
  3. Speaking of Dr. Vino, he had a great discussion on how wine auctions have not turned the profits they used to.  Business geek that I am, I ate this up!  Perhaps I can find myself some good deals while I build my collection.
  4. Alder from Vinography had a fabulous primer on sake.  Love the stuff but don’t know much about it.  Thanks Alder for putting it together!  I plan to do a little experimenting on my own in the sake arena.
  5. Craig over at Wine Camp did a review of the book The Billionnaire’s Vinegar coupled with some reflections on the Wine Bloggers Conference.  I wish I could have gone!  Next year for sure.
That’s it for this week’s installment.  I’m sure I missed many wonderful other blog posts but these are the five that caught my attention.
