Ugh.<BR/><BR/>2) They completely overplayed the fact that, of the co-authors of the book in question, the beer angle was from the man and the wine angle was from the woman. Turned it into a "battle of the sexes" thing. Barfo.<BR/><BR/>3) What do you expect when you've only got 4 1/2 minutes of air time? No substance.<BR/><BR/>4) That being said, New Belgium and Dogfish Head breweries got a little national-TV spotlight time. That can't be a bad thing. <BR/>The wine that was picked, on the other hand, was an Ernest & Giulio Gallo. Take that, oenophiles.Mark aka "Perm"https://www.blogger.com/profile/11147303993167664393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-84367008901079822.post-64494782368779031722008-06-19T09:12:00.000-07:002008-06-19T09:12:00.000-07:00So the local affiliate in my area decided to axe t...So the local affiliate in my area decided to axe the final hour of Today in order to show Oprah (barfo!), so I missed the live segment. <BR/>Here's the archived video:<BR/>http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/25119199#25119199Mark aka "Perm"https://www.blogger.com/profile/11147303993167664393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-84367008901079822.post-66836740507255945482008-06-11T17:32:00.000-07:002008-06-11T17:32:00.000-07:00I caught an interview with the authors on the DC N...I caught an interview with the authors on the DC NPR affiliate. Only the last five minutes but it was clear that the Dogfish head guy was living the dream. <BR/><BR/>Mostly, it just made me want to drive straight to DFH in Rehoboth.
