This section, will also be written as a FAQ.
Q: How do you know what people type into Google?
A: There are a couple ways. Anybody can use Google's new Suggest feature. As you type, Google offers suggestions based on what other people type in. It's a slow, hard way to find any good questions, but you can start with a who, what, why, where, when, which or how before typing in the rest of a question. This is how I found "Who invented wine?" and "Why do wine glasses sing?"
The other
way which is much easier involves my other website. I have a decently
ranked site about a French
vineyard where the O'Connells and I make wine. When people
type bizarre wine questions into Google, I'm often a result they
receive on page one or two. My Google Analytics account shows me what
queries people used to be directed to my website. Google Webmasters
Tools also allows me to see queries which indexed my site without
getting an actual clickthrough.

Q: Can I send in a question or do I have to type it into Google?
A:
You can email me a wine
question AND type it into Google to be doubly sure.

Q: Why should I believe you?
A: I'm a winemaker, but you shouldn't believe any assertions on the Internet too wholeheartedly. If you want help researching hard references, feel free to contact me. Otherwise, I try to keep objective so you can generally trust what I say to be based on books or first hand experiences. Furthermore, when I do go off the straight truth path, I tend to qualify everything with an "I think" or "it seems". I'm just trying to entertain and enlighten a little. It's all pretty casual.

Q: What should I do if something you said is wrong?
A:
Let me know. I reserve editorial privileges, but I'm happy to hear
dissenting opinions. A lot of this stuff is unimportant and subjective
like what glass do I use with what wine or what is the difference
between theoretical groupings like old world wines and new world wines.
