First segment of this weeks VinVillageRadioShow: Robert Parker Highly Recommends that You to Stick Your Nose in Their Business - Tony Cartlidge

For 28 years, the mission has been dry, dry, dry singing varietal correctness, begging for communion with food, and above all, premium quality wine at modest every-day-drinking prices.... with the unsolicited stamp of approval from The Wine Advocate! English-born Tony Cartlidge has been making California appellation wine from Napa since 1980 under the Cartlidge & Browne, Stratford, Rabid Red, and Manzanita Canyon labels. He says, "It's easier than driving a cement or logging truck."

Third segment of this weeks Show: Amateur and Virtual Winemakers Win Competitions at CrushPad of San Francisco - Michael Brill

CrushPad was born in 2004 to serve would-be winemakers across the virtual landscape who couldn't up and quit their job and move to California. His neighbors must have thought he had a screw loose back in 2002.... digging up his entire 625-square-foot back yard in Potrero Hill, San Francisco.... to plant Pinot Noir and Syrah vines. Many techies lose their heart to wine... eventually, but not compared to Michael Brill who realized that his backyard vineyard and garage winery were earning him new friends and future clients.
