A Really Goode Job: Top 10 Announced

lizhamillscott — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 19:04:52 +0000

So the top 10 candidates for the Really Goode Job have been announced.

I’m rooting for Hardy from Atlanta. He’s the one who got the social networking connections rolling between the various applicants. And his video genuinely entertained me. I’d like to see what he’d do in the Wine Country Correspondent position.

Sad News

No, I’m not talking about MJ or the late, lovely Farrah.

My sad news is that I failed to make the Top 50 cut for A Really Goode Job. *pout* *whine* *pout*

To tell you the truth, it’s all good. I knowI don’t have the mad social networking skillz that Murphy-Goode is looking for. I wish all the best of luck to the Top 50 who will be whittled down to the Top 10 very shortly. Y’all go get ‘em!

Speaking of telling the truth…now that I’m out of the running, I can finally say it: Murphy-Goode does make tasty, reliable wines. But I think there are better wines coming out of the Russian River Valley, and I’m in love with the Sonoma Coast apellation these days. Taste the Pinot Noirs at Merry Edwards, and you’ll never be the same again.
