Burgers and Red Wine for July Fourth | Articles | Wine Spectator - http://www.winespectator.com/Wine...
Next Saturday marks the United States' 233rd birthday, and we recommend celebrating and entertaining American-style, with burgers cooked on the grill and Cabernet Sauvignons from Washington and California. We've put together a list of recently rated American Cabs below, and we've consulted contributing editor Sam Gugino for tips on making the tastiest, juiciest burgers.

Long Island Merlot - The Pour Blog - NYTimes.com - http://thepour.blogs.nytimes.com/2009...
I’ve had merlot on the mind recently. Long Island merlot. I’m afraid I’m not ordinarily excited when the topic of merlot comes up. But this is different, because I think Long Island merlot is different from most wines that label themselves as merlot.

the 5 minute episode, seemed like a commercial, especially when gary's appeal is the free flowing long form conversation weaving different topics and thoughts into his review. i vote no on 5 minute version.

There is an article in the new Wired mag that talks about the coming of individual box wine..cheaper containters and ship twice as much. Supposedly It will make a huge push later this year.
