Wine-fi Musings & Newz
June 22nd 2008 - I put in a lot of work into Wine-Fi the past couple days adding new pages like Bacchus & Dionysos the Roman & Greek Gods of Wine, and Puppy/Dog Apparel for that Fido in your life. As always the goal is to bring YOU as much Wine Related items as possible. I also have some unigue items coming in soon to Dress up your wine Bottles and impress your guests at any Wine event.
June 14th 2008 - E-mail issues resolved, there's more than one way to Squash a Grape!
Onwards.
Summer is here more or less and Wine-Fi'ing will be on our/your top agenda. So many Wineries to visit, new releases to Taste and buy. And now that you've bought and cruising to your next favorite or new Winery your precious purchase is in back of the car in the trunk or back seat, cooking in that Summer Heat. A little advise, keep it cool. Here's something I tend to do, freeze up some tap water in empty plastic water bottles or soda 2 liter bottles, it'll melt slower than ice cubes, put them in a cooler whether it be a big ole' Igloo or Wine Tote and my precious Wines are kept nice and cool during the trip. Another tip I've heard and tried is throw a blanket or coat over them. Doesn't sound right but it seems to work, acts like an insulator, bottle should be cool at purchase and it keeps that coolness confined while covered.
Coming soon - Kay Dee Designs - Wine Towels,Place Mats, Aprons and more. Lolita Wine Glasses, and a few interesting Wine Bottle covers.
Changed around the Muzac page a little and added a little, wanted to give Big Rain and Kevin Kooyumjiam their own dedicated page. Great Muscians they are! I like them.
Met Manuel Barrios, Artist behind Fine Wine Designz
http://www.winedesignz.com/ last night. Very nice person and passionate about his Art. He paints soley with Red Wine, very classy pieces we all can appreciate. Emmmm, have see if I can promote some of his pieces here at Wine-Fi.
Happy Father's Day to all you Dad's out there! Be safe.
May 19th 2008 - A few updates for you, Wine-Fi now has some of your favorite Movies related to Wine such as "Sideways" and "A Good Year" and TV Shows "Uncorked with Billy Merritt", and the adventures of Nigel Lythgoe and Ken Warwick of American Idol fame as they buy their own Vineyard in "Corkscrewed: The Wrath of Grapes". We also touch on Food and Wine with "NapaStyle"and "Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations". Ok maybe Anthony doesn't explore Wine too much but he does the Food, I like his shows and think they're enteraining, informative, and they're pretty funny too! I could drink a glass of Wine with him, maybe two, three ............ Any way hopefully more Movies and Shows to come.
The Wine Media page with Books, CD's & DVD's has been cleaned up a bit thanks to new features from Amazon using a Carousel type format, very cool.
Versovino's are back in stock.
Lastly our regrads to the Robert Mondavi family. Robert did great things for the California Wine Industry to say the least.
May 3rd 2008 - Just a quick note, Mother's Day is FAST approaching. My Anniversary sale is still on for Mother's Day but time is short. Just about everything here is on SALE so take advantage while you can. And be safe out there.
