		<description><![CDATA[Would you pay $95 for a bottle of wine? How about if that bottle of wine was one which you custom blended for your own tastes? Yesterday, I participated in a very unique experience in Napa Valley. Thea Dwelle (@winebratsf) organized a dozen wine bloggers, including myself, @FrankLovesWine, @DanicaSattui, @DrncPno, @BrixChick_Liza, @marcygordon, @spiritandwine, @DreamWildly, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wild Yeasts
We know that wine is made by fermenting grape juice with yeast. But up until the last century, wine was made using spontaneous fermentation and relied on the indigenous wild yeasts that occur naturally on grapes.
