The Latest Fad in Wine Blogging and Wine Criticism

[Joe Dressner]

The latest fad is to denounce the mullahs and dogmatists who are telling us what wines are politically correct to enjoy.

The great thing is that this allows people who dominate much of the world's view of wine to portray themselves as a persecuted minority.

That's what I'd call a Wine Bored if I started one.

Here is the new trend:

originally from the VLM-TR (the worlds finest wine blog):

Vulgar Little Monkey,

In a few months we will be launching wineclubzone.com. We will be launching a blog network and featuring top quality blogs like yours. Our main goal is to index all the wine clubs nationwide both online and offline, and let the bloggers discuss them on our forum.

We wanted to see if you would be interested in joining the network. Here would be the benefits:

1) We would use your site feed and feed in the first 200 characters of your post and link back to you as a means of driving traffic to your site.

2) We will link you from our main blog page.

In return we will ask for a 125X125 widget on the sidebar of your blog.

Let us know if this is something you would be interested in.

Thanks,

Hey if you can't set the agenda for national politics, you need to set your sights lower.

Marginalizing the opposition, while consolidating hegemony.

What do you mean? The Road is playing in theatres right now.

 

[Erwin Dink]

aww, man, joe, c'mon, you make me feel so out of the loop, can you give an example or at least an obvious hint?

 

[Joel Stewart]

i'll gladly denounce mccarthy...the road is his worst book. he better watch it, he's copying himself...(and obviously not blogging enough)

You don't think he is basically blogging in book form?

The absence of quotation marks, the stance against semicolons, the rarely present females: it is all very blog like. It reminds me of WINEDIGGER, for instance.

i can't find his blog, but you're right about his delivery system. actually, i think he's been twittering directly to his editor all along...

(and if he's gonna go all dark on me, i prefer blood meridian)

Is that Mary to the left? It's been awhile since I have seen a picture...
