Mike Weir’s Winning Wines - Business Review Canada:

"Did you know that Weir has a passion for wine? Not many people do, as his professional golfing career overshadows his business ventures in the media. Getting into the industry with his wife based on a passion for wine, Weir entered the wine industry with just five rows of vines in his front yard. Parallel to growth of the Niagara wine industry recognition, Weir’s interest in wine-making increased and he launched his first wines in April of 2005. Today, Mike Weir Winery is award winning and has become a successful venture for Weir, something he is proud of."

Being a supertaster can also affect your wine experience.

Are you a supertaster? | Gluten Free For Good:

"25% of us are supertasters. We’ve inherited a higher-than-normal number of taste buds and are typically more sensitive to strong, bitter foods. Think raw broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, grapefruit juice, whiskey, wine, dark chocolate, coffee. We don’t like those foods."

The Essence of Wine: Vanilla

I love a hint of vanilla.

The Essence of Wine: Vanilla - Vinography: A Wine Blog:

"Barrels imbue wine with much of the vanilla we taste. Their singed oak can offer up an echo of flowers in ancient forests, or deeper notes of caramel and butterscotch. Sometimes floating above the wine's fruit, sometimes wrapped around it, and sometimes welded awkwardly to a woody frame, vanilla's elemental allure is hard to ignore and easy to love. "

Tiger Woods putts way to within two shots of Abu Dhabi lead

It's fun seeing Tiger stay in contention.

Tiger Woods putts way to within two shots of Abu Dhabi lead - ESPN:

"I thought I played well today; I hit the ball just as well as I did yesterday and made a couple more putts today, which is nice," Woods said. "But the golf course is playing difficult. It's starting to speed up a little bit and the greens were quicker, drier, and it was tough."

It's great to see Tiger in the mix!  Now he needs to get his putter going!

McIlroy Outduels Woods and Shares Lead in Abu Dhabi - NYTimes.com:

“It was a good ball-striking round,” Woods said. “I had a hard time reading the greens out there. The greens were pretty grainy, and I just had a hard time getting a feel for it. Toward the end I hit some pretty good putts, but over all I got fooled a lot on my reads.”

Wine-Knows: Bordeaux Garage Wines - Les Garagistes

Wine-Knows: Fine Wine and Gourmet Food Journeys for the Discerning Traveler:

"Thanks to Robert Parker, many of these garage wines have a cult-like following. In 1995 Parker rated some of the garagiste wines higher than Chateau Petrus… and the wine world has been topsy-turvy ever since. Some feel the garage wines are nothing but fruit bombs with high alcohol that are for collectors rather than wine drinkers. One writer described their popularity as “ The Emperor’s New Clothes” syndrome."

China brims with fake, high-end bottles of wine:

"Seizing on exploding demand, China's ever-resourceful knock-off artists have uncorked a lucrative new business: phony high-end wines.

Bootleggers are dousing the market with fakes using tactics so bold they would make a sommelier blush, including refilling empty bottles from famous chateaus with inferior vintages."
