Strangely, I'm not alone on that last one. Gary Vaynerchuk's daily 15-min. video blog has 25,000 viewers who click onto his site each day to hear him describe--as he did a few weeks ago--a New World--style Spanish wine as "not obnoxiously over the top and fake as many of these types of wines are.

...marathon political campaign, compressed into 12 days. In the first 11 days the jury (as well as the critics) sees the movies in competition for the Palme d'Or; and on the 12th evening, it announces the winners. Tomorrow is Cannes' election night, or Oscar Night; the 40 min. ceremony, with no production numbers or concession speeches, will be held in the Palais, and broadcast across Europe...
