Wish I thought of that.

Imagine being able to try a dozen different wines in an evening. Maybe even watch a video of a sommelier talking about those very wines. Hell, maybe even ask him/her questions via a live online feed. It would be like wine school without me (sigh). Brixr has taken the concept and are using TinyBottles (a kinda new packaging  program in which suppliers can offer their wines in taste-sized portions) to create  virtual wine classes/tastings. Very cool concept, and I really wish I thought of that first!

The tastings packs are pretty reasonable, and the concept is very very cool.
