Small Pursuits

As I indicated earlier, You Will Not Believe is now open for your questions about wine. I understand that the world of wine can be confusing and life-threatening; and so, I have decided to put my copious credentials in this area to good use.

To ask a question, you may either call YWNB by clicking the "Call Me" widget in the right column of this publication; or by posting your question to @mattlatmatt.

Our first question comes from @theguru42 from Twitter:

Well @theguru42, I'm about to save your life.

Matthew from McSweeney's Stained Teeth Column About Wine answers your wine questions.

Recently, I gave a talk at an event in Idyllic Amherst MA called Ignite - an evening of 5 minute talks accompanied by slides. The slides progress automatically every 15 seconds - just like my brain.

I spoke about the possibility (and difficulty) of writing about wine from an experiential stand point. It is in conjunction with an upcoming web project whose name shall simply be PROJECT DRUNKARD.

Or, what I have been in training for

OK SO: Murphy-Goode Winery is hiring for a six-month position they are calling the A Really Goode Job. They describe the job as a Lifestyle Correspondent:

We want to hire a social media whiz (your title will be “Murphy-Goode Wine Country Lifestyle Correspondent”) who will report on the cool lifestyle of Sonoma County Wine Country and, of course, tell people what you’re learning about winemaking.

I am applying for this job.

My application for the job is below. AND AS THIS IS SOCIAL MEDIA, there is the obligatory voting portion. You can vote for me on their website; specifically on this part of their website.
