Hi everyone,
So, the Top Ten candidates for the Murphy-Goode contest were chosen this week, and unfortunately I wasn’t one of those picked. But I really want to thank all of you for your awesome support! Also, there were some really excellent people chosen and you can see them here – I’m no expert on the various candidates but my personal favorites include Rocky Slaughter (hilarious video and great energy), Todd Havens (he really is a really good guy!) and Hardy Wallace (he’s fun and a really knowledgeable wine guy through and through).
As for me, it would have been nice to get paid to vlog about wine for a while, but I’m happy to be moving onward and upward with The Amateur Wino series, especially since I won’t be limited to one winery and can continue to spotlight great wines from all over the world! And in that spirit, here’s Episode 8! Also, upcoming episodes will include less instructional and more personal and funny bits, including (if I can talk her into it) some cameo appearances by Plee featuring her culinary creations including her yummy ice creams! Cheers! -Alan

In this episode, we profile an acclaimed cabernet franc-based wine from the Loire Valley of France, and do a little experimentation to learn about the effects of pairing the same wine with different foods
