		<title>2006 Eric Kent Spring Releases</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We love the Eric Kent labels, and we&#8217;re even more excited about the wine inside them. Okay, scratch that. We&#8217;re equally excited, since these labels are about the best wine labels we&#8217;ve ever seen (short of our own upcoming release, which you&#8217;ll hear plenty about, eventually). Go check out the Eric Kent wines and treat [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re excited to announce that we&#8217;re hosting a wine dinner at Campanile Restaurant on June 3rd, with the esteemed Tablas Creek Vineyard. Not only does Tablas Creek have one of the best wine blogs around, written by winery manager Jason Haas, but their wines rock.
For those of you who don&#8217;t know, they are owned in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wine Blogging Wednesday #45 (okay, Thursday): &#8220;Old World Riesling&#8221; hosted by Tim at Winecast</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We were visited by our friends at Chambers &#38; Chambers yesterday, and got a chance to try a delightful line-up of wines. Having been told that they were bringing by a trio of Provencal budget wines (which we&#8217;ll write about another time), we were pleased when they pulled out two German Rieslings, just in time [...]]]></description>

		<title>Poll: posting reviews and feedback on wine retail sites</title>
		<description><![CDATA[People seem to post reviews frequently on Amazon, and wine seems as conducive to user-feedback as books do&#8230;but our customer review feature almost never gets used. 
Partially it&#8217;s the fault of our system&#8230;it&#8217;s not the easiest to navigate, and it&#8217;s not completely obvious that you can even write a review of a wine you&#8217;ve had. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rosé - old vintage clearance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re doing a little spring cleaning and the first thing in store is to get the older vintages of Rosé off our shelves as we prepare for some new ones to appear. Not that there&#8217;s anything wrong with these 2006s (and in one case, a lovely 05). These are drinking well still, and at 30% [...]]]></description>

		<title>Simon&#8217;s Pick, May, 2008: 2006 Ferraton Cotes du Rhone Blanc, “Samorens”</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Simon at Larchmont Wine &#38; Spirits picks his wine of the month completely independently of domaine547, and though we happen to like a lot of the same wines, it just so happens that his picks have not coincided with our inventory. Until now. We&#8217;re proud to announce that this month, Simon picked a Cotes du [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cabernet Franc in the news</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a good article in this morning&#8217;s Food section of the LA Times, on Cabernet Franc. It would be better, of course, if it linked to the three included wines available through d547 (Chateau Hureau Saumur-Champigny, Chateau Vieux Clos, and the Lang &#38; Reed). But we still think you should read the piece &#8212; and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Eric Kent spring release: interview with Colleen Teitgen, curator</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We were lucky enough to convince Colleen Teitgen, curator of the wine labels at Eric Kent Cellars, to grant us an interview, especially considering she now has her hands full with a new arrival (mazel tov, Colleen!). A tiny bit of background: Eric Kent creates unique labels for each of its bottlings, which are in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Price check: 2005 Caronne-Ste-Gemme Haut Medoc</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<a class="floatleft" href="http://domaine547.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/caronnelabel.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-629" title="caronnelabel" src="http://domaine547.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/caronnelabel.jpg" alt="" width="93" height="78" /></a>Today, we find ourselves the victims of our own "price check" feature. We had to pick a few items up at Costco, and as is our habit, we also perused the wine aisles. Sadly, we found ourselves in the position of Whole Foods, seeing one item in common with Costco that we're far from competitive on from a price perspective. In fact, Costco not offers a better price. They offer a much, much, much better price. Like, ridiculously good. What some wine stores might bill in email blasts as "an out-and-out steal" worthy of a "five case buy!"<!--more-->]]></description>
