    Dirty all the way!!

  51. Mike - February 1, 2009

    McDuff’s Food and Wine Trail (http://mcduffwine.blogspot.com) probes a wide world of wine thoughtfully and passionately — his taste is both catholic and critical, which I like — and he serves up the odd Minutemen video as a bonus. Independent, entertaining, and insightful? Yes. I always get a lot out of his posts.
    It’s fun following Brooklynguy’s (http://brooklynguyloveswine.blogspot.com/) exuberant thoughts on Champagne, the Loire, and Burgundy. He really digs into his experience with the wine, and I just dig his vibe, too.
    Jim’s Loire (http://jimsloire.blogspot.com/) is a stunning resource for all us Loire lovers. Lots of info on events and domaines and vintage conditions and weather and wine, and the volume of info, with almost daily posts, is practically overwhelming.
