Thanks to the combined incompetence of Comcast and Verizon, I have been offline for 10 days. I am now back and will get back to posting soon. But, I have a couple of fanboy items to mention:

One of my favorite wine authors, Natalie MacLean has a new book coming out October 16th (in the States, it is already released in Canada). The book is Red, White, and Drunk All Over: A Wine-Soaked Journey from Grape to Glass it is available for pre-order from Amazon and looks really good.

I also got an email from Stephen Bainbridge asking me to add him to my blogroll. I was surprised to find that he was not on it already...I am a fan of his wine blog and you all should check it out.
