Bloggerview #18Who: Mark FisherBlog: UncorkedWhere: http://www.daytondailynews.com/o/content/shared-gen/blogs/dayton/wine/index.html Mark Fisher thinks like a reporter and this is what makes his blog, Uncorked, so relevant and so good. Of course, he is a reporter for Ohio’s Dayton Daily News and was their wine writer before he began blogging at that paper’s website back in late 2005. Besides good concise writing, you can count on Uncorked to point it’s readers toward important questions for the wine industry and for consumers. There is an investigative…

Bloggerview #18Who: Neil From BrooklynBlog: BrooklynGuy’s Wine BlogWhere: http://brooklynguyloveswine.blogspot.com/ Neil’s BrooklynGuy’s Wine & Food Blog always struck me as the prototypical wine blog.

Lyle is an "advocacy wine blogger", my favorite kind. Don’t take it from me, just read the interview below ("My blog represents the forces of good…in the battle vs the forces of evil"). Let’s face it, it’s just more interesting to read someone with serious opinions, especially when they express them as well…

Bloggerview #15Who: Alice FeiringBlog: Veritas In VinoWhere: http://www.alicefeiring.com/ Alice Feiring is not incapable of pulling her punches. I just don’t think she has any interest in doing so. This is a sure indication of a person who is makes every attempt to get on with life. Alice is a writer in the best sense of the word. When reading her work you get the sense that you are reading HER, rather than her notion of what someone will want to…
