Amazon to sell wines. Lower prices maybe. Hurt small retailers. No personal service.

This is very interesting. Could this be the future of wine? Especially for restaurants and light drinkers. Hmm.

Update:
More here from the UK - a diet wine, now that is another selling angle.

Open that bottle night 2008

It was OTBN night last night. We had several delicious wines, two of which I will mention. With our dinner ( braised / roasted Pork Loin with a red wine reduction sauce, cooked with new potato's; asparagus spears, sauteed with butter, Dijon and lemon juice) we started with David Arthur 2004 MERITAGGIO. MMMM

Followed up - there were four of us - with a Venge 2004 Syrah. The Venge was our OTBN, as it was signed by the winemaker Kirk Venge, who we met here:

As a matter of fact, while the dinner was at our place, the chef was the owner of La Maison Gourmet - our kitchen, our ingredients, his skills. He cooks as well as knows his wine. As does his wife, plus she loves cheese, so the combo makes it perfect. Thus they opened their Cheese and Wine emporium. If you are in the area, drop in. Or call and order a basket or join the wine club.

Oh, the wines? Delicious. I cannot do them justice with descriptions - plus I don't really know how to describe them properly. But should you ever see them, they are highly recommended.

Burgundy 2006 En Primeur

If you like your wine from France, here is info on the latest from the Burgundy region, via a British Wine Emporium. Burgundy 2006

Excellent white wine vintage - similar to 1992
Best reds from the Côte de Nuits
White wine prices will remain static or rise only slightly
Most red wines will be excellent value with pricing generally lower than 2005

Bon Appetit!
