Some interesting links:

Jayson Bryant's Wine Vault TV, which looks to have almost daily short video tastings of New Zealand and other wines---good stuff.

Jancis Robinson on Le Clos Jordanne and Closson Chase, her favorite Ontario wineries, both of a Burgundian (Pinot Noir and Chardonnay) orientation.  She likes Closson Chase for their Chardonnay and Clos Jordanne for both, especially their Pinots.  I tasted some CJ's last week at Jackson Trigg's splashy (but tasteful) Niagara-on-the-Lake facility; will post about them soon.

Cherries and Clay, a wine blog whose name summons taste memories of good Niagara Peninsula wines, though I think these guys are from BC.

Via Cherries and Clay, an interview with young winemaker Matt Dees of Jonata Wines in the Santa Ynez valley (near Santa Barbara, CA).

Countertenor Daniel Gundlach has an interesting, but apparently dormant for the last year, blog Counterleben, especially good on great and sometimes obscure sopranos.  It's where I learned about Snowball (TM) the Dancing Cockatoo.  (If that's not enough, another one bites the dust.)
