It's as ridiculous as pitting print against television. Social media is, at its core, another form of media. It's another means to connect and engage with people, but by no means is it a harbinger of destruction for traditional means. In fact, I would say it's there to enhance them--the success of the book sales is an example of that. I never liked much how print and social media were pitted against each other.

Traffic is very high -- I think among the highest of all American wine blogs. I figure people like to read it and they'll only comment if they feel they have something to say.

I do stand corrected. Julie's blog started it. But a Hollywood movie and newspaper reviews sealed the deal! So it took everyone -- the bloggers, the filmmakers, the print reporters and the original book -- to make it happen. Teamwork. Jeff, good point. I do stand corrected. Julie’s blog started it.

In fact, the movie title came from the blog of the same name. To answer your question -- Could social media have resurrected “Mastering”? A blog that turned into a book that turned into a movie resurrected "Mastering."

A blog that turned into a book that turned into a movie resurrected “Mastering.”

It will transform, no doubt. But TV, movies and newspapers still have massive impact and will continue to be a major driver, despite us bloggers sometimes suggesting otherwise. On vintages, '07 Pinots RRV: great. BTW- talk about a chick flick. Julie & Julia... I'll need plenty of Cab on hand to make it through with Loni. PS- why doesn't your blog get more comments, Steve. I never understood that. I agree that the demise of “traditional media” has been overblown. It will transform, no doubt.
