15. "Pouring One Million Cases" by Tyler of Dr. Vino - "..The program included the provocative pairing of Karen King, who until last month was the sommelier at The Modern (one Michelin star) and formerly with Union Square Cafe and Gramercy Tavern, and Michelle Kern, Beverage Director for Olive Garden, a unit of Darden Restaurants.."

16. "Interpreting the Spanish Wine Label" by Ryan of Catavino - "..Deep earthy browns, oranges and reds. Strong bold letters celebrating both history and culture. Elegance and beauty displayed in the gold detailing. Tradition. Pride. After 30 years of being a closed culture under Franco, it is of no surprise that their labels express both their deep roots to their past, as well as their desire to reach out towards the future.."
