Wine Basics Videos

by Farley

My best friend just started her own production company. She also makes instructional videos for Expert Village. When I was visiting her last month, she asked if I was interested in making wine videos, despite the fact they said they had the subject covered. I agreed, despite my usual avoidance of video cameras. She’s highly persuasive.

Excuses: I did not spend much time on my appearance, thinking no one would actually see me. All info was off the top of my head. Almost every segment was in one take, except the one where the dogs made too much noise. It was my last day there, and we had already drunk the case of wine I brought with me–leading to wine weariness and lack of full bottles for demo purposes.

Excuses aside: I haven’t really watched them myself, so I don’t know what I’m getting into by sharing with you. I’ll just consider this a lesson in trust.

Enjoy, and please be kind.

Available on Expert Village and also on YouTube

    I actually watched these a few weeks ago. I was thrilled to hear the only wine tidbit I know used, too! (never cook with a wine you wouldn’t drink!) I thought they were great! Of course, I suppose I could be watching them through Paige’s lens of view which shall always portray you glowingly!

    Hi, I’m the site manager for Expert Village, and I just wanted to pop in and thank you and Paige for your wine series. They’re fun and informative, and you did a great job on them. Here’s hoping we see more from you and/or Paige soon.

    By the way, you can actually embed a video from EV on your blog if you like, just go to the actual video page, then cut and paste the text in the “Embed this video” box into your post. It should show up just like a YouTube video would, complete with its own player and all.

    Now if only I can convince my boss that I need to go out and buy a bunch of wine to test all this stuff … :-)
