The way bloggers are now being approached… What a good laugh I just had
I’m so happy to keep you in the loop of the ridiculous… My little wine blog keeps me endlessly amused, by the way, and I love sharing. We’re actually making history with current affairs, here. I got an Email this morning, and knew that I’d not be interested in what was being offered, just by [...]
I wish I could still find that study that cited, “Men read other men, women read men and other women,” seemingly in that order
I wonder if it’s because most writers are men, or at least appear to be. It seems to be something we know subliminally; otherwise why would female authors of days gone by (and even some today) take a male pseudonym as a pen name? I was just reminded of this phenomenon as I picked up [...]

I’ve heard a lot of scuttlebutt about Paul Mabray’s 9 Most Important Wine Bloggers in the US list since it was published; and it’s a good list, based on his experiences and [...]
That is a service that we don’t offer…
[Comment today to win the pair of tickets for the Rhone Rangers grand tasting... Drawing this Saturday.] “That is a service that we don’t offer,” was my recent response, inspired by Jose when I asked him, “Can you tell me why I’m asked to give away my high res photography for free all of the [...]
