		<title>The Business of Saying No</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No, I am not a natural wine merchant.
And no, I am also not not a natural wine merchant.
So what exactly is my store, Domaine LA? This is a tricky question that I try to answer here.

A couple of months back, I participated in the first annual Los Angeles Natural Wine Week, spearheaded by Lou Amdur [...]]]></description>

		<title>Los Angeles Natural Wine Week: Taste California Terroir on 5/15/2010 at Heath Ceramics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lou Amdur, of LOU on Vine, has been hard at work putting together Los Angeles&#8217;s first Natural Wine Week. I&#8217;m remiss in announcing this, since it&#8217;s barely 7 days away. Go on over to the website Lou has set up to learn more about the variety of events around town exploring this controversial, fascinating, and [...]]]></description>

But first, maybe I should introduce myself. I&#8217;m Whitney and the new kid on the domaineLA block. I&#8217;ll be posting here on the blog from time to time and with this post I debut a little ongoing series we like to call Meet the Reps. So- let&#8217;s get to it!

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been having a little fun featuring a &#8220;Customer of the Day&#8221; on our facebook page, and was asked by one customer who is not a facebook member if I might post them on the blog. So here&#8217;s the first batch!

I&#8217;m tardy in posting this, and what I&#8217;m posting this morning is actually only about 1/2 complete&#8230;so expect a few modifications and additions as the next few days progress. In the meantime, a small bit of background:
As some of you may know, I helped design the wine list for LudoBites 3.0 at [...]]]></description>

		<title>2008 &#8220;Bebame&#8221; Red, El Dorado County, California</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cabernet Franc (65%) and Gamay (35%) from - gasp - California! And only 13% ABV, pretty modest by California standards. If I tasted this blind I would probably have said it&#8217;s from the Loire Valley. It has pretty much nothing in common with the full bodied iterations of Cab Franc coming out of Napa. Juicy, [...]]]></description>

		<title>2006 Telegramme Chateauneuf-du-Pape Rouge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Really balanced and smooth, this is a bargain of a Chateauneuf. Yeah, the 07s are lauded but what would I prefer to drink? This! It&#8217;s the second label of Vieux Telegraphe, from the same property but from younger vines. And it&#8217;s a deal at $33 a bottle.2006 or bust!

		<title>Wine Retail and Social Media: Yeah, I Should Be Blogging&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[But I&#8217;m not. Funny, it was pointed out to me that domaine547.com appears as a successful example of social media in wine (juxtaposed against the Wine Spectator of all things) in this recent presentation (see slide #25). I guess they haven&#8217;t looked at the blog lately; it hasn&#8217;t been updated in weeks.
Really, in my internet-only days, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Free Corkage Alert! Umami Burger and domaineLA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Umami Burger&#8217;s truck has been parked today on Citrus just north of Melrose, and in addition to a welcome expansion to my lunchtime options (and an unwelcome expansion of my belly), I&#8217;m pleased to report that Adam Fleischman, owner of the enterprise, made a most generous offer to me as I waited for my burger: [...]]]></description>
