I’m on it. How many people is a good number? I’m thinking me, you, Doug, Ward, and my pal who teaches at CIA (she lives in SF). Lemme know if you think of anyone else and I’ll send out an email. Oh and I’d love to get together soon. I’m craving tea leaf salad. Lemme know when!

RAWR! :-) We need to get together — it’s been so long since the conference! What ever happened to the Wine Bloggers’ tasting group you were pondering?

The 2007 story, if you read it, was about COMFORT foods and wine, things like meatloaf and homemade macaroni and cheese, which pair well with highly acidic wines such as Sauvingon Blanc and Pinot Noir because these wines can stand up to the fat of these dishes. The only reference I made to junk food in the entire story was Mike Pierce’s affinity for Doritos. And citing that he had Wine Wednesday seminars. Please, don’t attack me without being informed.

It’s not about you. People should enjoy their wine however they choose.

Carageenan is a natural product derived from kelp while MSG was traditionally made from the fermentation of seaweed and now wheat. I don’t see how these are any different from wine in that man takes natural products (grapes, kelp, seaweed/wheat) and ferments them with the addition of a fermenter (yeast, bacteria).
