A million wine critics are out of work...Every few years there's an attempt to bring wine to television. People think that if there's such an interest in food shows, there should be an audience for a show that celebrates wine. They all start with a bang and end with a whimper. The next show to fail miserably in this futile endeavor is called Vine Talk, premiering this month on PBS with the charming Stanley Tucci serving as host. The website shows many people whose faces you recognize, but whose names you can't quite place ("isn't that the guy from that show?") laughing it up. And you will too when chef Daniel Boulud picks the cheapest wine in a blind tasting.
