I've fixed it. Well, everyone could use a little playtime, but yeah that sentence wasn't constructed properly. I've fixed it.

Yes, both efforts may be geeky, but whereas obsessive Star Trek trivia buffs may be missing a life, it's the beginning of the end of rationality to tell working scientists to drop their efforts and go play.

Though I think an article on wine in Italy would probably fit on WP, I see your point. Vinismo could become the Memory Alpha of wine. Well, you are a dork, but it was your counterpart.

Yeah, my understanding is that something like a <a href="http://vinismo.com/en/2004_J._Lohr_Cuv%C3%A9e_PAU_Paso_Robles" rel="nofollow">2004 J. Lohr Cuvée PAU Paso Robles</a> would be too specific and low-level for Wikipedia. Probably most wineries wouldn't qualify for their own Wikipedia article. Additionally, articles about regions and countries would differ a lot between Wikipedia and Vinismo. Obviously, the Wikipedia article on Italy will cover history, geography, culture, language, etc. The Vinismo article on Italy will only cover Italian wine production and traditions. It's a different kind of focus. I didn't realize anyone had contacted you and asked you to blog about Vinismo. Was it me? That seems kind of dorky on my part. Hi, Steve.
