An exploration that roams from a local wine drinking community to a whole world of passion, beauty, and pleasure that awaits us out there. You know, eat, drink, and be merry-type stuff. Let’s dive into wine and pleasure, but not take ourselves too seriously. After all, as a friend of mine likes to point out to beer geeks and wine freaks, “we’re just talking about 10 minutes of pleasure, that’s all.”


To connect with me elsewhere, I can be found on Twitter @RonMarks,  on Cork’d to share what we’re drinking, or for my more personal mindcasting stuff, check out www.ronmarks.tumblr.com, or you can simply ask me a question here


 Cheers!

Cool interview with @dirtysouthwine worth checking out. Sounds like this guy is part of making one of the cleanest and most natural wines around. We need to get more people thinking this way.&lt;/p&gt;
