I've made some minor changes to the site. I've removed some blogs that haven't updated in a while and expanded the winery section. While I am rearranging, if you have a blog you want me to link to, just drop me a note.

I am sure you all have have heard the story that Amazon may start selling wine. Others have posted analysis of this, so I won't. But I was curious about this line:

'The US wine market is around $25bn, and only a small percentage is purchased online,' Bergsund said. 'There is plenty of room for Amazon as well as specialty retailers like wine.com.'

I know I may be an anomaly, but I purchase almost as much wine online as I do at retail locations or wineries. I'd be curious to know what percentage of wine sales are done online.

Speaking of Amazon and Winecast, I like the idea of Wine Book Club and picked up the book, I'll post my review as soon as it is done.

Finally, speaking of Amazon and wine books, local author Miles Lambert-Gocs has written a book entitled Desert Island Wines. It is a series of essays about wine, many of them look to be very funny. I'll let you know all know what I think after I have read it
