		<title>Cabs in Napa</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#34;When can you staaawt?&#34;

Yes, life goal achieved: I went to &#8220;the land of food and wine,&#8221; according to the Terminator, I mean, Governor Schwarzenegger. And Napa, California, has two taxi cabs and a shit [...]]]></description>

&#8211;Bill Veeck, former baseball franchise owner
Every ballpark has its own beer. At Wrigley Field, they slam down Old Style like it&#8217;s going out of style. In St. Louis, they drink Bud, Because U Deserve What Every [...]]]></description>

		<title>Video: Sommelier Starts a Winery</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I saw this, I had a good laugh, and I just had to share. Campy and rough, it still demonstrates the ridiculous misconception of what being a winemaker (or owning a winery) is all about. Winemakers watching this will snicker if not guffaw. For those that don&#8217;t get it, let me tell you that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why I Shall Remain Loyal to Hooverville Forever</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For wine drinkers, there is always a heartbreaking moment when that vintage you love so well runs out, and you realize one of two things: You&#8217;re going to save that last bottle for a special occasion that will never come, or you are about to drink the last bottle you&#8217;ll ever have, and you will [...]]]></description>

		<title>WSU AgWeatherNet: Now for the BlackBerry Farmer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the olden days, farmers would consult their almanac and stare at the sky to determine when to plow, plant, prune and pick. I&#8217;m sure there was also a fair amount of gut-hunch involved, guts no-doubt benefiting from individual experience, generational advice and genetic memory. But gone are the times (mostly) of intuitive agriculture. With [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;He who loves not wine, women and song remains a fool his whole life long.&#8221;
&#8211;Martin Luther, German theologian (1483-1546)
Aaaahh, wine and song. Among their many common traits, one has to be that the best wine, like the best song, is one that is shared. Show me a man who has never cracked a bottle with [...]]]></description>
