Thanks, guys, for another great show. I was wondering if you’ve entertained the idea of talking about new media (blogs, podcasting, etc.) have affected the wine community.
I owe a large part of my growing interest in wine to Grape Radio, and I now have a level of comfort talking about wine…largely because blogs and podcasts give the non-expert a chance to connect, exchange, and learn more.
Having recently started my own wine blog, I can say that an added benefit is that it gives people like me a way to facilitate and document my own wine education.
Keep up the great work. Looking forward to hearing more.
Hi guys, and thanks, this was a great interview, and James is a class act. It is nice see a guy like you and me take his passions and turn dreams into reality. I guess I have to wait in line for the magnum, I will check the web site anyhow. Also I really did enjoy the ‘Judgement of Paris’ interview, that was classic.
Continued Success with the show.
Driving home from our vacation, my wife and I listend to this interview and really enjoyed it - James Ontiveros sounds like just about the perfect interviewee: articulate, charming, informative, and just a nice guy. His wine sounds pretty compelling too: we ordered some as soon as we got home!
