Scrollin’, local style
Posted on July 8th, 2009 – 10:27 AMBy Bill Ward
It’s folly to try to keep up with all the latest wine Web fodder, but a few items of local note just popped up:
*One of the cool things about working at a wine store is that it generally means sampling a lot of juice. Mike Johnson at Sorella Wine & Spirits is taking advantage of that in a very 2009 manner: tweeting tasting notes (try saying that five times real fast). Check out his 140-character-or-less blurbs here. As he told me in an email yesterday “It’s interesting to see the variety of wines a shop like this actually tastes through.”
*Meanwhile, locally based Sacre Bleu has a vibrant, sexy new website up and going. The youth-oriented operation catches the eye immediately with a salacious photo of France’s most buzz-infested wine figure of the moment, the erstwhile Miss France 2004. She lost her title after posing for Playboy but has gained some respect in the wine world, including a mention from the Wine Spectator (which has a considerably more sedate photo of Mlle. Laetitia Bleger).
*Finally, John Skupny, who went to high school here during a peripatetic youth, gets a well-deserved shout-out for his wines from Alder Yarrow, perhaps the most respected reviewer in the blogosphere. John’s a wonderful guy, and his Lang & Reed cab francs are seriously yummy. Cool label, too.
