Bloggerview #22: Samantha Dugan

Bloggerview #22Who: Samantha DuganBlog: Samantha Sans DosageWhere: http://sansdosage.blogspot.com/ This girl has style and it shows through in her blog, Samantha Sans Dosage.

Bloggerview #21: Arthur Przebinda

When I first came across HoseMaster of Wine I really wasn't sure…

The Battle For Wine and How I Learned to Love Alice Feiring

Alice Feirng is an anti-establishmentarian that believes beauty is extracted from order. This puts her at odds with American wine and probably modernity too. And yet this strange and compelling perspective also gave her open entry directly into the hearts of the audience I watched her address yesterday. Last night, in the grand, old tank room of Sonoma's venerable Sebastiani Vineyards, with lights dimmed and candles lit, Ms. Feiring held court in front of a crowd that was decidedly modern:…

Bloggerview # 19: Peter Liem

Bloggerview #19Who: Peter LiemBlog: Besotted Ramblings and Other DrivelWhere: http://www.peterliem.com Peter Liem is the second Wine & Spirits Magazine writer to take up blogging, beating his colleague Wolfgang Weber to the punch by a couple months. Peter’s personal blog, Besotted Ramblings and Other Drivel, has a certain derogatory ring to it, but please don’t let this fool you. Peter is W&S’s Senior Correspondent based in Champagne, giving him a unique and insider perspective particularly on the European wine scene. I…
