Thank you for the continued feedback on my winecasts. The best feedback I have recieved so far was from winecast one. "I'm sorry, I just couldn't watch through it. Ten minutes of my life I will never get back". I fully appreciate that level of criticism and I did my best to edit winecast #2 so that it would move faster. As a result, people have told me that I rush through the fruit on number two and do not spend enough time with it.
Let me iterate that the 10 or so minute fruit segment was edited down from a nearly two hour wine and fruit feastival. While a portion of what I cut out was tasting, spitting and chewing, most of the cuts were actually of me thinking! With most of the fruit I ate I really spent a great deal of time processing that flavor, then sipping wine, then searching for that flavor in the wine.
I am new to this, it is bad, but with your continued feedback, it should get better. I will try reduce the amount of content I put into one episode so that I can make episodes shorter, and focus on making the content more meaningful rather than appearing to push through it.
Thanks again for your support and criticism, Rob

Hilarious moments in LKF after Manu Liverpool game
what happens when rugby guys strawpedo 2 cases of smirnoff ice...well from 18-33 seconds a teammate of mine is licking an announcers face (at 2:10 I am taking this twitpic http://twitpic.com/mw7s8 (wearing white yankees hat in background)... but much better than that is what happens twice in the seconds after, performed by the same earlier teammate. The other idiots are friends as well! Too funny

sleepless in Hong Kong
Me, after several days without sleep, trying to get work done in Pacific Coffee. Fail. The worst part is it's now a full day later without a real sleep or nap and my body doesn't know how to fall asleep anymore. Just laying in bed awake...

Seizure Warning!! Wandered around LKF for 20mins filming. Didn't come out like I hoped, but I think the disorientation gives it a more realistic feel...

Video not related to wine
Thank you to the 8 of you who have been watching my videos. I didn't do one yesterday and won't do one today, so here is a freebie from a few years back. I'll keep this up as a placeholder until I put out a new winecast. Enjoy...
