		<title>Able Grape Is Not Google</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pardon the silly title, but with all the buzz on Bing (&#8220;Bing Is Not Google&#8221;) I just couldn&#8217;t help myself. And please, no silly questions about whether or not I&#8217;m going to change Able Grape&#8217;s name to &#8220;Aging&#8230;&#8221;
It&#8217;s been unbelievably busy here at Able Grape central, and I&#8217;ve been quite remiss on my blogging. Hoping [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ablegrape.wordpress.com&blog=2690963&post=736&subd=ablegrape&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>WBW #54: &#8216;na passione per Piemonte</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(yes, yes, this is a couple of days late, mea culpa&#8230; more like a &#8220;Venerdì del Vino&#8221; as I write this, or a &#8220;Sauce-Blogging Saturday&#8221; as I finally post it&#8230;)

		<title>1997 Cantina Terlano Pinot Bianco &#8216;Vorberg&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes one tastes wines that seem to redefine what a particular grape from a particular place can do. Such was the wine I tasted tonight, the 1997 Pinot Bianco &#8216;Vorberg&#8217; from Cantina Terlano. I bought a few bottles of this a number of years ago, and I&#8217;ve tried a bottle every year or two. Each [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ablegrape.wordpress.com&blog=2690963&post=644&subd=ablegrape&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
