The MySpace of Wine

-
As everyone is trying to push how they're the next MySpace, it was only a matter of time before someone started doing it in the wine world.

The Wine Experience allows members to upload articles, blogs and a daily audio Podcast of The Wine Experience Radio Show. They can also comment on existing articles and participate in a variety of wine forums.

Creating community and allowing for lots of user input is a fantastic idea and Wine Experience seems to be getting it on a good way to do that for people that like to drink the fermented grapes.

But wait! Look! Another site that prides itself on how they're not wine snobs! THAT IS SO CLEVER! I'm so over how the latest wine blog/site/forum tries to sell itself on being for the everyday joe then gets inundated with commenters/members that laugh everyone else off the site by talking about how their latest bottle of 1985 AssGrape is clearly a result of excellent tannins.

Unless you're proving it everyday, like HipTastes, then you can shut it about how common you are. Just BE that kind of site, don't push it on us in your weak slogan. I'm thinking of starting a site only for snobs, in rebellion to all these sites for commoners.

Only 8 months after real absinthe has become legalized in the U.S., the importers and overseas producers have really started taking advantage of the buzz and mystique that absinthe holds and launching like crazy here. With more absinthe launches than vodka lately, it may not be long until the brands are just as gimmicky. Three new absinthe's have launched this week in hopes of garnering early market share in a soon-to-be-crowded market. La Fee Absinthe Parisienne is made in Paris and has been around for a while as it's been sold in 20 countries for the last 10 years or so. The product is made by traditional standards and the owner of the recipe still approves each batch of La Fee. For a while, Lucid Absinthe was the only one you could get in the US as it wasn't made from the traditional Grand Wormwood (until March of 2007) so it could get away with going around the law. The producers guessed that the stuff that was considered a fake (but still very flavorful) wasn'...

Some thanks and virtual bartender

As of last week we averaged over 1,000 users per day. That's pretty damned cool. I'm surprised to see it myself considering how poor we rank on Technorati, but Performancing.com doesn't lie! In case you live under a rock, the Virtual Bartender are girls that do as you command, just like any good bartender does. They each have a huge list of commands and the most recent version has two girls. The shot pictured is them doing Star Wars. But they make out, shake ass, and many other things (no nudity, but plenty of cheesecake). They seem to do a lot of stuff except being able to make a martini. Brilliant.
