Couple of housekeeping items to update.
List:
1. Correction for www.winemakingradio.com, provide specific link to podcast
2. Eliminate possibility of canine destruction to vine in St. Louis, MO.
3. Wine of the day/weekend.
4. Photo update of Southeast Logan Square garden.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
To start, the photo of the black canine is the resident pup at my folks' home. Apparently Louie is/was a Mother's Day gift from one of my siblings and the respective spouse. I have yet to meet the pup, but I don't think he can reach the vines up above. That source of vine destruction is eliminated. The dog stays.
Also, I actually thought I could go to a more precise page for the podcast I mentioned a few days back with the folks from the University of Minnesota Grape Breeding and Enology Project, but the page only takes one to a list of podcast archives:

Wine of the Day/Weekend
Regarding the Bogle Petite Sirah, I think I mentioned that a friend told me that they were beginning to enjoy Petite Sirahs. Thus, I tried to track one of these varietals down for my own bad self. The bottle ran me about $11.99 before tax. With respect to the flavor of the beverage, no complaints. This is probably obvious to most, but I felt like I should've had it with some food to enjoy it properly. The color of the wine was gorgeous in the glass, actually. I do recall having great interest in the depth of the colour as it rested in the glass.
