in Wine Tourism in Sherry Country and a Lesson from Portugal on Catavino
I think Spanish wineries in general should take advice from the portuguese. Getting into a winery can be very difficult, buying wine even more difficult...There are ofcourse exceptions but nevertheless there are lots to learn.

in A hopeful prognosis on health care reform on The New Mexico Independent
The nation’s largest organization of healthcare workers has launched a campaign to post a healthcare story from nurses, doctors, healthcare workers, and patients each day for 365 days. The movement is being driven by Americans who are facing healthcare challenges and have a story to be told. The SEIU’s goal is to help win passage of comprehensive legislation between now and August 2009

in Behind This Clinton "Popular Vote" Silly Math on Jack and Jill Politics
She's omitting ALL caucus states.
She's NOW saying that she's going to make every effort to switch the superdelegates.
Worst of all, she's getting help now from her newfound soulmates, Fox.
They've actually done it. They've come out today and said there's supposed to be that Michelle Obama tape that Larry Johnson has kept threatening but never been able to produce and that that is why Clinton isn't getting out of the race.
Bastards. These people are total animals.

in Obama Begins VP Search on Jack and Jill Politics
everyone go to the Field.
Giordano: `The Nightmare Ticket is Dead
The Field can now confirm, based on multiple sources, something that both campaigns publicly deny: that Senator Clinton has directly told Senator Obama that she wants to be his vice presidential nominee, and that Senator Obama politely but straightforwardly and irrevocably said “no.” Obama is going to pick his own running mate based on his own criteria and vetting process.
And that is all that anybody needs to know to understand the childish and wounded behavior of Senator Clinton yesterday, grandstanding hypocritically to senior citizens in Florida, telling them they should consider themselves under sniper fire in Bosnia, er, Zimbabwe, aggrandizing herself as some kind of civil rights leader (MLK? or LBJ? She didn’t say this time) and attempting to corner 30 members of the DNC’s Rules & Bylaws Committee that will meet on May 31 to resolve the disputes over whether, and, if so, how, delegates from Michigan and Florida might be seated at the convention in August.

in Hillary Clinton LIES - SHE IS NOT AHEAD IN THE POPULAR VOTE on Jack and Jill Politics
I hope I can help - you're thinking straight. Hillary just buried herself today with all but her ardent supporters. (BTW I'm a white Obama supporter writing this)
Hillary goes over the top when she's under pressure. She did it with Bosnia. I won't take up unnecessary space giving other examples but this woman loses it every time when the going gets rough. Sometimes she says things that make you truly question her psychology and temperament. This was one of them.
I couldn't believe it when I saw that she was trying to equate a rules kerfuffle that SHE initially agreed to when she didn't think it would penalise her with the historic abject disgrace of slavery, the even more historic triumph of decency in abolition and the civil rights legislation proves to EVERY normal non-racist human being that this person does not have, never has had, the temperament and judgment needed to lead any country, let alone the most powerful in the world. Please take heart from this. She, I am, very sure, just buried herself with any previously remaining uncommitted superdelegate.

Where did u get hold of it? Where was it before it ended up in that barrel. Why don't you go ahead and try it to find out if it's okay? If the conditions where the barrel has been standing is good i think the manzanilla wine should still be fine. Try it and let us know!

There's a marvellous post on how the Clintons have used the race card and how much this needs to be resisted - over at TPM. Do read it - and know how many white people are onside in deploring this.

in The Epiphany Moment when a Friend Finally Understands Wine on Catavino
I had a similar experience in Sweden. In Sweden it is extremly popular with bag in box wines. And my friends there always tells me that they taste exactly the same as in bottle......ha! So just to prove them wrong i bought the exact same wine, same vintage in bottle and bag-in-box and did a blind tasting with my family and some friends.... I had the exact same reaction as from your friend M.....After that experince i have never seen a bag-in- horror when i come home to see my friends. again...I don't know if they still keep it hidden away in the cupboard but at least i don't have to drink it.

in Wine Lovers, Listen up! I Love Beer! on Catavino
Great Ryan, I am pleased to know that you drink beer as well. I know exactly what you mean about the diversity of beers. I used to live in Holland, and not only do they have very nice wine shops but also the diversity of beer that each little restaurant, pizza place or cafe is carrying is amazing. It used to take me a long time to order because of this enormous variety. It was great. Looking forward to join you for a beer tasting sometime in the future.

Robert, I think your post is VERY smart and intelligent and I believe you have raised a problematic and frustrating issue to the surface. Being very fresh in this whole social network and blogging biz i find it difficult to actually get in there and understanding all the bits and pieces..I think it's great you are initiating a discussion about this and i hope you get a lot of feedback and crazy ideas about how this can change!
