Jason Haas can’t find lightweight bottles that don’t look cheap
February 1st, 2010 admin
Jason Haas went to Sacramento thinking thin. He came away disappointed. Although it’s known for belt-tightening of a different kind, Sacramento is not known as a weight-loss destination. In fact, Haas, the general manager at Tablas Creek Vineyards in Paso Robles was attending an enormous wine trade show. He recounts on his blog how set out to find a lighter bottle for his top wine, Esprit de Beaucastel, a red blend that retails for about $50. But, in the end, he wasn’t happy: It became clear that the bottle manufacturers have been taken by surprise with wineries’ desires for lighter bottles. Most of the lightest bottles that they make still are intended for the lowest-end wines. They look cheap. …

La enorme pelea de la Frikipedia 2...Cambiandole la letra a The ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny, he creado esta obra de arte. Narra una de nuestras peleas diarias en el chat de la Frikipedia. Espero que os guste. He recibido quejas (y con razón) de frikipedistas que no salieron en la canción. Por eso he creado algo de hueco para meterlos a todos. Letra: El gran [KrusheR] contento celebraba que de construir la Frikipedia acababa, cuando vino Frikiman y le tendió una emboscada y le tiró a los pies una frikigranada. [KrusheR] cabreado le fue a kickear, pero no esperaba encontrarse a GTA, que le fue a apuñalar con el cuchillo del jamón, hasta que de repente apareció Kirillov Que empezó a dispararle con un AK, pero con un coche vino a atropellarle Kha (KhazikeKhashondo), el cuál, antes de poder volver a Monifate, vino dar_loki y le pegó con un bate. Sus brazos y piernas de lo lindo bateó, hasta que Kirillov al bate un tiro pegó, se le acabaron las balas y decidió correr porque Nikomaru acaba de aparecer. Esta es la enorme pelea de la Frikipedia. Ciencia poder y baneos, como cada día. Frikipedistas peleando, y solo uno quedará. Esta es la enorme pelea de la Frikipedia. [KrusheR] quiso poner paz muteando a la gente, pero el lag de su PC le hacía estar como ausente. DrVino apareció más cabreado que un etarra, Y DaniMetal fue y le pegó con la guitarra. Khazike volvió a la carga pulsando un par de botones mientras una paliza daba Dar_Loki a Varotone cuando Nefertiti y Dunkel intentaban derrotar toda la <b>...</b>
EL SUEÑO DE SHIDURI -PINTAR CON VI...CARACTERISTICAS DE LA OBRA Y ANTECEDENTES JOSÉ EGORZA CRÍTICO DE ARTE Sí que han existido escarceos por parte de algún artista que ha pintado con vino , a través de manifestaciones monocromáticas muy limitadas, pero la cosa no ha pasado de una anécdota periodística . Una obra de este tipo no puede aportar consistencia suficiente en una exposición abierta al público a no ser que se juegue con matices y materiales .El 25 de octubre de 2008 me desplacé desde Barcelona hasta el Museo Würth de Agoncillo atraído por una obra El Sueño De Shiduri cuyos decorados habían sido ejecutados con vino por el propio autor . Pese a que asistí a una representación teatral pude experimentar en mí mismo el impacto causado por los decorados y su repercusión en el público. Después hable con Pablo Pereda su autor y le animé a seguir investigando en su obra .Ya en ese momento me confesó que deseaba ir mucho más lejos. Aquí está el resultado ¡sorprendente y espectacular! sin duda. El vino por sí sólo no posee fuerza para dejar el color si bien puede conseguirse utilizando la técnica adecuada ; es decir un pequeño truco que posibilita pintar con vino . Pero esa técnica , podríamos decir que parecida a la acuarela, sólo puede ser utilizada en un soporte de papel , jamás en un lienzo y mucho menos en superficies mas duras como la madera. El vino deja su color puro cuando se aplica sobre almidón y algo mas tenue cuando se aplica sobre una cuerda de cáñamo ; todos estos recursos y muchos más han sido <b>...</b>

Tony Soter shed some unnecessary weight from one year to the next–in his bottles. The Oregon vintner shipped his 2007 Pinot Noirs in bottles weighing 900g, more than the 750g of wine in the bottle.
