Posted on 11. Feb, 2010 by Hardy Wallace.
In the past few days, there has been a little bit of a online storm surrounding the value of social media in wine (and some beating up of social media in general). Just another clash of traditional vs social media (or vice versa)– As a social media guy, I love all media, but I just [...]

Great wine and cheese pairing should almost stop you in your tracks- creating flavor combinations that make you go “waka-waka-waka” Fozzie the [...]
