WOTD: Wines of the Day

Years ago, when I was one of the administrators for a corporate UNIX machine, the computer's operating system had a feature called MOTD (message of the day).  We used it communicate whatever might be important—or sometimes just fun—for users to know that day.

Well, you can think of this as your WOTD message.  Woke up thinking about Prosecco Mimosas, Hippolyte Reverdy Sancerre, and Brandborg "Bench Lands" Pinot Noir! Yep, I think those will be my WOTD.  But first I have to walk the dog and make breakfast.

And as long as I was thinking of sparklers, I'm having fun with the web tool Amazon provides to grab book pictures and descriptions.  Wish we had a similar tool for wines! Lacking that, Don and Petie Kladstrup's book on Champagne is one of the most readable wine books in my library (along with their Wine & War, about the Burgundy region). Richard Juhlin's 4000 Champagnes, on the other hand, is the most comprehensive possible coverage of the topic. Read and enjoy.  Cheers!
