Click on the “Share This” under the show time. Select the E-MAIL Tab, fill in the info and viola! I tried sending one to myself at my work address, and got this message with an embedded link:

hey, check this out
Sauvignon Blanc and Marlborough
http://www.graperadio.com/archives/2009/01/26/sauvignon-blanc-and-m…

Now, I DID get a weird message that the email was not valid, but it showed up at my doorstep anyway.

Hope this helps.

Eric

Any hints on how this works?

thanks for such an impressive podcast about the most beautiful region in New Zealand – a wine growing one! I really think the country’s industry of wine is increasing and thus it makes all wine lovers to reconsider their tastes and indulge themselves in more intense veritable flavors of NZ wine. It must be slap-up!

Regards,
Tanya Shekhovtsova. :)

Thanks for the comments on the show, and for the links. I found it interesting to read Casella’s impression that “People today don’t want to drink what their parents drank and their parents drank chardonnay,” and, I suppose a generational change easily be a factor. But, as the article mentions, one has to wonder if the opportunity of a large price differential between Sauv Blanc and Chard didn’t have more to do with it. And, given Yellow Tail’s own approach to gaining market share, that certainly ought to have crossed his mind too.

Thanks for the latest episode. Very interesting. I’ve got a link
below, which shows that Sauv Blanc is becoming more popular in
Australia than Chardonnay. Apparently primarily because people of a
particular age don’t necessarily want to drink what their parents
drink, which is kind of dopey to me. But both NZ and Aussie Sauv
Blanc and Semillon Sauv Blanc are as you say, great on a hot day, or as a summer alternative.

On another issue, Australia is moving towards changing tokay to topaque
