It has been a exciting week in the Burning Bridges Media studio and we are pleased to announce that John Glas has agreed join Don’t Fear the Grape as a contributing author. John is the owner of Wine Glas professional wine tastings and a wine educator in the Twin Cities area. He will be a valuable resource for us all at Don’t Fear the Grape.
Also, we have a programming change to announce. We have decided to make the Don’t Fear the Grape podcast weekly instead of bi-weekly. We will be alternating between educational and wine tasting episodes.
We hope you are as excited about these changes as we are.
Waiting for your 2007 Châteauneuf-du-Papes to mature?
Give the 2007 La Vieille Ferme Côtes du Ventoux a shot. The Perrin family makes a ton of this stuff, but that doesn’t mean it still can’t be good, especially in a great year like 2007.
Look for it for around $10 a bottle.
