Sean - I'll say it again and I hope that people realize what a great resource this aggregation of news is! Do you have these as an easy to find category on here. Would be a great go to history lesson!
ReplyDeleteJosh
Thanks Josh! Indeed, if you click on WA Wine News on the top banner or search for Washington Wine Round-up on the tags on the left hand side, you'll see the complete list (as well as some other news related items). Glad to hear you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, it needs to be called out more and promoted. I'm not sure what kind of traffic you get - but it should be 10 times that.
ReplyDeleteSean,
ReplyDeleteTime to shine the apple here-I think you have the one of the best, (I'll say it's my favorite), wine sites in the ether. I'll second the post of drinknectar that that your roundup has me spending more time than I usually plan to. Looking forward to meeting you at Taste of WA at Qwest!
Drinknectar and Cityroute16, you are too kind! Thanks!
