"who has ever heard of dogs being used in wineries to sniff out wine defects such as TCA (the culprit involved in a “corked” wine)?   Indeed, dogs are being used not only in wineries to find TCA, but some thinking-out-of-the-barrel folks are also using canines to identify infected wood even prior to the barrel’s construction."

This crazy U.S. Open setup could be perfect for Tiger Woods | For The Win

Read the full article: This crazy U.S. Open setup could be perfect for Tiger Woods | For The Win:

"But the thing is, with the course burnt to a crisp already, that potentially neutralizes Tiger’s biggest weakness. You don’t need to hit lots of drivers on dry courses because the ball rolls so far — indeed, Phil Mickelson said this week he only sees three driver holes on the entire course.

It’s essentially going to play like a dried-out British Open course, setups that Woods has played well on in the past: At Muirfield in 2013, Tiger was T-2 heading into the final round, and during the baked-out British Open of 2006, Tiger only hit one driver all week in what was probably the most masterful performance of his career."

Size Matters - Wine-Knows Travel: Fine Wine & Gourmet Food Journeys

Read the full article on wine glass size:
 Wine-Knows: Fine Wine & Gourmet Food Journeys for the Discerning Traveler: Size Matters:

"What’s in a glass?  The study showed even the most sophisticated wine drinkers don’t know.  In summary, when estimating volume people tend to place a larger emphasis on the glass’s height rather than its width, so wider glasses result in larger pours.  Authors of the study also noted that since it is easier to pour into a glass that is being held, that this ease creates over pours.

Next time I order by the glass, I will definitely keep these comments in mind especially for a red wine in a less wide glass that I think is under-poured."

Read the full article: The Golf Blog: Tiger Woods secretly working with Butch Harmon during layoff | The Golf Blog:

"Tiger Woods has been secretly working with Butch Harmon to get his game “tournament ready” for the Masters. The reason why we have not seen or heard from Tiger since he announced his leave from tournament play is that he wanted to maintain complete secrecy about his reunion with Butch Harmon, in order to avoid the “media frenzy” or hysteria that would ensue."

Mira Winery president responds to FDA warning about ocean-aging wines | Eat | Charleston City Paper


"In keeping with the experiment, this past year Dyke says Mira went on a seven-city tour and had 18 people blind taste test the ocean-aged bottles against traditionally aged wines. The conclusion? The majority of taste-testers, he says, identified the ocean-aged as older wines, proving his point that submerging wines expedites the aging process, information he thinks could revolutionize the wine industry."

Read the full article: Why America fell out of love with golf - The Washington Post:

"Even Jack Nicklaus, perhaps the greatest golfer in history, makes a strong argument for why new players aren't flocking to golf.

"I'd like to play a game that can take place in three hours," Nicklaus told CNN in January. "I'd quite like to play a game that I can get some reasonable gratification out of very quickly -- and something that is not going to cost me an arm and a leg.""
