There are a large, and I mean really large, number of wine blogs on the Internet that specialize in celebrating the lesser priced wines…affordable wines, value wines, wines under $20, etc, etc. I’m going to be a little bit obnoxious here and suggest that the reason there are so many of these blogs is because the average blogger simply doesn’t have much experience or access to more expensive or more COLLECTIBLE wines. These bloggers turn their current economic circumstances into…
I spent a bit of time looking over Gary Vaynerchuk’s Wine Library TV when it first launched. I thought it a good idea watching the first episode, but it also stuck me as a bit bland; as though Gary, the host and the focus of the show, hadn’t found his stroke yet.

Off the top of my head I can think of a few, but the Wine Hiker Witiculture Blog is really a great one. The blog itself supports a very interesting and unique service: California Wine Hikes, a company that provides guided hiking tours through the wilderness and parks surrounding California wine country.
