@marx3699 @LoneMadrone is in Paso Robles. @ireneivy Don't have a sparkling red for you yet, stay tuned. @spartacuswines It was a Zolo night! #
@BluelegsTango Niagara makes some great Chardonnays. LCBO has some unoaked chard so you should be able to get some in Canada. Good luck! in reply to BluelegsTango #
@gaspereauwine …screw caps represent less than 5% of all bottled wines. #winewednesday – I Bet that # is MUCH higher in Canada & AUS/NZ #

just picked a bottle of sparkling red from @WineExpo in Santa Monica – $12.99 #
Laments the end of the bottle. Ponders opening another. Heck, who needs to ponder? Bartender! Pour me another! #
@WineEnthusiast We haven’t bought one yet simply because we don’t have anywhere to put it. Looking at Vinotemp credenza for living room. in reply to WineEnthusiast #
@MacMcWong I always forget about Santorini. Contemplating writing a post about “the other white wines.” I’ll add it to my list! in reply to MacMcWong #
Email from @snooth: California+Syrah http://bit.ly/Rc06t – Declares California Syrah a great value in wine… couldn’t agree more! #
Went to Grace for Doughnut night (8 types of donuts, all to die for)… had an AMAZING glass of Zin… 2007 Turley Zinfandel Juvenile. WOW. #

had a great time at rhone rangers! blog post coming soon #
@LibArtsAndMinds Was it No.99 Wayne Gretzky? Or 1999? Answer that and I’ll write up a quick blog post to help you solve this puzzle in reply to LibArtsAndMinds #
@HipsterEnology @CtlCstUncorked Sorry I missed you, too! Maybe we we’ll do an LA-area wine blogger get-together… in wine country! Or here. #
@UrWineGuy Nice to meet you, too! #RhoneRangers was awesome & the wine was outstanding. Loved Kenneth Volk & Skylark! Dreaming of Roussane. in reply to UrWineGuy #
@Osa_Mac No such thing as “the best brand of” any wine. Looking for under $20? From California? Not oaky? These are better goals for buying. in reply to Osa_Mac #
Get 25% off great summer wines: Russian River Valley Chard & Rose from Oriel: http://bit.ly/GyIeQ use promo code LASTCASE #

Quick! What’s your reaction when someone suggests you drink a bottle of wine rated 88pts? #
Thanks for awesome answers @DailyWine @UrWineGuy @Diana605 @AltaColina @MattUva @CharlieOlken @ubergirlelijah @fieryonetoo @H1923 @Mistyconn #
Updated the blog with 2007 Shiloh Road Syrah. See what else is on the don’t-buy-it list and add your own, please! http://bit.ly/e5rV8 #
@DailyWine He can cook, right? in reply to DailyWine #
Hadn’t discovered Trinchero until just the other day… anybody have any Trinchero favorites I should taste? #
http://bit.ly/uRudG SO excited to go to this tasting event tonight! I even made tasting note templates to keep track more efficiently #
@WineExpo I’ve been to your store! Impressed by some unusual wines I’d not seen–sparkling reds. Hmmm, I think I need to come back soon! in reply to WineExpo #
Last night’s tasting event was not so hot. Way too crowded, rude people, music too loud, food line too long… too much bad wine! Poop. #
@DailyWine Yes, I AM going to Rhone Rangers on Sunday! If it sucks too I’ll do some serious vetting before attending events in the future. #
@MacMcWong The tasting is in Santa Monica. You might find this useful: http://www.rhonerangers.org/calendar/ in reply to MacMcWong #

like two sides of a coin, they are. Coffee and wine of course. #
@banjoray Sorry, man. I don’t know what either of those are… should I? in reply to banjoray #
@jweaving No, but I have a great book for it: http://bit.ly/MtmKt and this site has a Cheese- & Wine-of-the-month club: http://bit.ly/GV3Nf in reply to jweaving #

RT @PasoWinos: Photos we posted yesterday of veraison (change in color of the grape berries) in Paso Robles? — http://bit.ly/AaYsJ #
Do you ever go to wine tasting events in your hometown? Why or why not? Doesn’t count if you live in wine country <jealous> #
@BlurayStats @MadameWine @KetsugoJohn Thanks! I’m thinking about these two events near me: http://bit.ly/uRudG & http://bit.ly/PsWMG #
2007 Shiloh Road Syrah, Paso Robles. CHERRY BOMB-with a subtle blueberry chaser. Too acidic, no depth. Ah well, they can’t all be winners. #
Friendly wine peeps #FF @altacolina @lonemadrone @pasowinos @madamewine @CtlCstUncorked @winebooks #
Aww, thanks @UrWineGuy! #FF right back at ya! #

Going to BevMo! today to pick up Zolo Malbec, William Hill Cab, & Tintara Shiraz on 5-cent sale. Have you tried these? Tell me about it! #
Biggest downside of being in the wine biz? You look at wine all day and you can only drink it after 5pm! #

Initial thoughts on the 2007 Shiloh Road Syrah from Paso Robles… good. Nice body, young but very drinkable and textured. Good sipping red. #

Last minute handyman-and-landlord visit in the middle of a two-day rush project? Good reason to start drinking in the middle of the day! #
