To paraphrase Yogi, My blog is so popular, nobody reads it anymore".<br /><br />To offset the seeming quietude... permit me a squeak to simply say I'm reading and always awaiting the next installment. The problem with your talent is that you pretty much say it all. Aside from having your fans tell you how much we love what you do (Or in Samantha's case-- how much she literally loves and wants to do you), what else can we do. <br />Maybe your can get all interactive with it and post questionnaires or surveys. Perhaps ask readers to share their wine "journeys" or ruminations on being amateur "smellers". Akin to the Galloni/Robinson musings. I'm trying to help with your branding effort-- how'm I doin' ?

One of the fun things about regularly writing satire again is how my mind now comes up with ideas spontaneously, without my conscious mind searching for them. In the middle of the night last week, I couldn't sleep. Into my head, unsummoned and out of nowhere, appeared the thought, "Affordable Cab Act." And this piece was born. <br /><br />Does it seem quiet around here?

But let's not discriminate, we could have an Affordable Crap Act too. We shouldn't leave the plonk out of the myriad choices the wine-buying public has. If they want to buy crap wine, it should be affordable too.Marcia Macomberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07237764449953259939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-39225482136098969942013-10-28T10:43:26.146-07:002013-10-28T10:43:26.146-07:00The ho is greater than some of its parts.
