Talk about a small world. I'm a couple zillion miles away from Boston, but of course, I keep up on the wine news, and what do I find? Not only am I getting ready to blog about a new wine magazine from the Boston area, The Second Glass, (which, by the way, I love the title since at our home wine tastings the hubby and I always joke that the second glass tastes better than the first no matter what wines we are tasting), but I notice first, they have a blog. Cool, I go check it out. Then they mention moi here at Celebrate Wine! Even cooler! Thanks guys. I'm adding you to my blog roll right now....

But, first, here's the low down from The Boston Herald:

Tyler Balliet is a wine connoisseur.

But he isn't much of an expert on $200 bottles of Bordeaux. He's a fan of the $15 bottle of wine you pick up at the liquor store on the way to a dinner party.

So last month Balliet, 26, began publishing The Second Glass - a magazine dedicated to covering wines and champagnes that fall under the $20 price tag.

Balliet, a Boston resident, said he works part time in a liquor store and many customers ask questions about lower-priced wines, not regularly covered by publications such as Wine Spectator and Decanter.

"I really wanted to start a non-pretentious magazine," Balliet said.

The Second Glass is meant to be a magazine for the everyday drinker rather than the upscale enthusiast.

The magazine's debut issue contains articles on topics such as what wine to bring when meeting in-laws - "an essential guide for bringing wine to the people who will drive you crazy for the rest of your life," the magazine says.

Good luck with the new venture! We're focusing on the other end of the wine market, but I think it's probably a better time for you to be getting into the business then it is for us!
