July 20, 2009 A 90 point, $14.98 Pinot!
Meet the Luigi Bosca Reserva Pinot Noir ’07 from Argentina. Wine Spectator give it 90 points and say the following:
“”The cherry-colored 2007 Pinot Noir was barrel-fermented and aged in oak for eight months. It has enticing varietal aromas of raspberry and strawberry leading to a friendly, velvety-textured, sweetly fruited Pinot with attractive flavors and good length. Drink this excellent value over the next four years.”
If they had any you could buy it here <link>

December 31, 2007 Welcome to Wine Wine Wine
Just cos I could I decided to run a third experiment using RSS – it’s simply brilliant (RSS that is). I set out to see how much wine-related information I could aggregate from around t’Internet.
I got the idea from del.icio.us (which I think is fabulous). You see I have a “wine” subscription on del.icio.us which sends me all the links that people tag with “wine”. So I took an RSS feed and put it into wordpress. Then I went off into the wine world to see what feeds I could find. Heaps or should that be vats.

I also got a feed out of Flickr of all the photos tagged “wine”.
Separately I have Google alerts for wine. I don’t think they offer RSS. I’ll check. Maybe I’ll use them as a link blog in the body of the page along with my own thoughts on wine (currently on The Displaced Kiwi) . Watch this space.
I suspect I have just created another Internet backwater. But as before I’m having fun. If wordpress would let me have more that nine RSS feeds I’d fill it up; there is heaps of content just waiting to be aggregated. (I’m becoming Newsgator)
