Making Changes to the Podcast Format

2006-08-20T20:59:00.000-07:00

Hello listeners!

I have received a few comments regarding the format of my existing podcast, Vineyard Uncorked. Some have mentioned that it might be good to begin interviewing members of the wine community. In addition, some have mentioned that I might try recording a tasting session.

If there is anybody who knows of anyone in the wine community who might like some free advertising and a good interview, please let me know.

In the meantime, we will continue business as usual until further notice.

Cheers,

Jeff

Hello to all listeners!

After visiting the spaces.msn.com/vineyarduncorked blog, I realized that in order to make any comments, you would need to have a passport.net account already set up. This is not what I intended, so in order to save everybody the trouble, I am setting up a new blog at this location.

Please let me know your thoughts and if you feel this is a positive change.

Cheers,

Jeff

Wine Adventures to Experience

2006-04-22T17:02:00.000-07:00

Thank you for looking into this weblog. As I learn more about wine, I find that the need to share that knowledge becomes greater with each passing day. I have been involved in technology for over 20 years, but found that my passion for wine and understanding its heritage goes far beyond comprehension.

It is my hope that as my adventures with wine expand, my experiences and learning will inspire others to venture into the wonderful world of wine.

Let the adventures begin!

Jeff
