		<description><![CDATA[We are particularly excited about this podcast because we get to discuss a topic that is not usually associated with this region, and that is value.    Join us as we taste through 3 wines; a white, rose, and red wine from the broader appellations of Bordeaux. All of the wines we taste are in the sub $15 range and deliver on the promise of good QPR (quality price ratio).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Help us stop HR 5034, a bill submitted to the House of Representatives in Washington DC. HR 5034 is a bill that threatens to end direct shipping of wine from wineries to consumers.

It is an act of anti-commerce and fear mongering by wine wholesalers and distributors. Contact your representative to vote NO on HR 5034. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[FYI not your plumbers Bud break either:
Contrary to popular believe not all the action in the winemaking process happens in the cellar, some of the most fascinating activity takes place in the vineyard throughout the four seasons. Take a quick look at this short video on the life cycle of the vine so that you can better understand what is going on in the vineyards year round. For more detailed info see below:]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are those who subscribe to truth-in-origin, and others who dismiss this notion as silliness. You could count the French, however you feel about them, most Europeans, the Slow Food Movement and perhaps Alice Waters among the former. The latter are of the flat-earth persuasion: the Mondovino coterie, the varietally obsessed wine lovers who discount the origins of wine and those who uphold McDonald’s uniformity of quality as something to attain as a goal.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In podcast 20 JonM and I explore some value wines under $25 from Argentina, California, and Oregon.  When we say “value” we by no means mean cheap, but what we do mean is a wine that delivers way above their price point. We think we found some wines that you are going to like.  We also discus some of the limitations of wine retailers and the very arcane system of wine distribution in the US.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A recent blog post on 1winedude.com got me thinking! You have heard of the slow food movement but is there a wine equivalent? Have speed tastings (the wine world's take on speed dating) and TasteLive become the MCDonalds's equivalent to wine, resulting in a "fast wine" experience? Is this really what wine is about? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had the fortunate pleasure of being invited to meet Chris Phelps, head winemaker for Swason Vinyards in Napa.  So this past Monday I made my way up valley to Rutherford to meet Chris at the winery.  What follows is a podcast of me recounting my encounter to JonM.  This is like the hearsay of interviewing techniques, Chris Phelps tells ChrisO who then tells JonM.  If you like it make sure and tell someone else. ]]></description>
