Lover’s Cups

Lover's Cups
Hey, I don’t make up the titles around here. So this report came across the net today,

Lover’s Cups explore the idea of sharing feelings of drinking between two people in different places by using cups as communication interfaces of drinking. Two cups are wireless connected to each other with sip sensors and LED illumination. The Lover’s cups will glow when your lover is drinking. When both of you are drinking at the same time, both of the Lover’s Cups glow and celebrate this virtual kiss.

Hmm, sounds interesting. You can toast to someone without them even being the same room! Laugh if you want, but consider the possibilities.You can drink wine and feel (pun coming up here) connected to your significant other, even if they are halfway around the world. You can buy a bunch of these and have one very interesting party (the glasses can be ‘trained’ to each other by simply tapping them together as in making a toast). While not in the traditional wine glass style, seems pretty interesting nonetheless.

Episode 23 – Book Reading by Kermit Lynch

Hey there Guys & Girls, in today’s episode of A Guy, a Girl and a Bottle we listen to Kermit Lynch, as he reads a few pages of from his new book, Inspiring Thirst, Vintage Selections from the Kermit Lynch Wine Brochure. (You may remember on Episode 19 of A Guy, a Girl, and a Bottle wine podcast, Joe interviwed Kermit at his store in Berkeley California.) Kermit presented to the public back in December on behalf of Vintage Wine Merchants, and we recorded that session. Kermit’s writing and reading style are very witty, and show a rare side of the wine industry. If you like what you hear, you can purchase an autographed copy of the book directly from Kermit at http://www.kermitlynch.com/pgbooks.html#1
