I'll be posting July's assignments shortly (I know, you are on the edge of your seats in thirsty anticipation) -- but, in the meantime.... I wanted to draw your attention to a comment we got on Aunt P's review of the barnyard wine... oh, sorry.... I mean, Bonarda.
Commenter Sean mentioned some wine recommendations along with a shameless plug for his buddy's site InterWined (very cool and clever name by the way).
I checked it out briefly this morning and it's a pretty neat site (I know, it's much fancier than this one, but...) -- "The Tasting Room" features some basic wine lessons as well as some tips on how to serve and store wine.
So, to Sean -- thanks for the tip
And, I've added a list of like-minded-blogs over on the right..... please feel free to refer us to others and I'll add them.
Cheers!

We won't call them rules.... we'll call them guidelines
- Wines should be <$15 per bottle
- Pricier "special occassion" wines are okay too
- Each month we'll have a theme (region, type, color)
- If you don't care for a particular assignment, modify a part of it
- Don't only post about assigned wines.... if you have a glass at a friend's house, or at a restaurant -- write about it!
- If you aren't a member, and don't want to be a member -- that's fine -- post your thoughts in a comment or email me at thewhinery at gmail dot com and you can be a "special guest" reviewer

That is an impressive site.
Hi all,
Thanks for visiting InterWined.
Glad you liked it.
In appreciation, my friend and I have added a link tracking back to you at The Whinery.
And, may I recommend for the South African Tasting next month a bottle of Tukulu Pinotage. Quite nice...
on the extra credit assignment: "A more complex blend might be something like 56% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, 1% Syrah "
Let me guess? You've already picked up your bottle? Or did you pull this out your... sorry, I shouldn't be crass
I'll have you know..... I wasn't sure if "blended wine" was the correct term to use -- so I thought an example might help clarify what I was attempting to convey.
Rather than guess, I went to www.wine.com and found two that looked like good candidates and copied their descriptions for the example.
