Friday Photos: Podcast Pioneer Leo Laporte
February 14th, 2014
Many thanks to Leo Laporte for a tour of his TWiT studio in Petaluma, CA last weekend. “The Tech Guy” was generous with both his time and knowledge of all things podcast. Lindsay and I had a great time as guest observers during his Saturday show. The big problem is that @leolaporte and Tom Barnard @radioTomBarnard make it look so incredibly easy!

More to Wine than Making it
February 2nd, 2014
There is more to know than making wine or drinking it, for that matter. On Friday, January 31, 2014 the American Society for Enology and Viticulture, the preeminent grape and wine professional society in the United States, hosted a symposium honoring Dr. Ann C. Noble, Emerita Professor and Sensory Scientist/Flavor Chemist from the Department of Viticulture and Enology, University of California, Davis.
Dr. Nobel invented the “Aroma Wheel” which is credited for a greater understanding of wine tasting and education. Peter Kitchak, of Kitchak Cellars, and I had the honor to be among some of her last students in the Wine Program at Davis before she retired.
