"The writing is witty and fun, and in some cases fairly substantial, delivered by a dedicated blogger who is at it on nearly a daily basis. If you want to read a darn good wine-related blog or have an interest in hiking along with wine, you do want to check out Winehiker Witiculture."
— Tom Wark, Fermentation
It's rare enough to find a connoisseur of wine who also is a connoisseur of hiking and outdoor recreation, and even rarer yet to find such a person who is a dedicated blogger ... all of which make this blog a rare find indeed.
— Tom Mangan, Two-Heel Drive
"Seeking a weekend partner-friendly activity that will build desperately needed "spousal points"? Visit the Winehiker's website and blog - a site devoted to hikes which inevitably end with good food and wine. (Chicks dig that stuff. Guys do too)."
— Tom Chandler, Trout Underground

Hey, you’re famous. Eleven minutes, 40 seconds to go…
December 14th, 2007 at 9:02 pm
That rocks Russ! Congratulations! So, a singing career not too far in your future?
December 14th, 2007 at 9:20 pm
Great video, Russ! Only thing wrong was it was too short!
December 15th, 2007 at 7:32 am
Great promo Russ! I’ll be passing this along to all the folks I’ve been telling about you. We look forward to joining you on one of those hikes soon!
December 15th, 2007 at 7:57 am
Thank you so much, everyone! The IWC production crew sure does a fine job. That’s why they’ve won a James Beard and an Emmy!
Brian, those redwoods are waiting for ya. And I appreciate your future virality!
monkuwino, there is a longer version, but I can only share it with you in person!
Sonadora, you should see how alive these hills really are!
To Tom (Trout Undergound): you’ve been with me from the start, my friend, and we both have a long way to go yet. Could be that we’re both legends in our own boots! But mine are leather and yours are rubber.

Russ, its really good, especially the sound effects. And of course you look like a great leader. I can hardly wait to join you on one of your hikes. I do a wine newsletter and I just received a nice comment from one of my readers. She tells me because of reading them and viewing my blog she has contacted you and is joining you on a hike in June 2008. Be nice to her, she is an awesome lady!
Cheers from Victoria

Russ, your last minute addition (the feather) was perfect. Seriously, what a great video. As it is 17 degrees and snowing here in Wisconsin, the video was REALLY appealing.
December 17th, 2007 at 4:55 am
Russ, that is awesome! Can I have your autograph? Just sign your last WineQ box and send it back. (Hey, then we’d *really* be like Netflix!)
