Wine Blogosphere 08/28/06

Filed in archive Wine Tasting on August 28, 2006

Well, my brain is thinking about a few other things than wine today because we Floridians are preparing for our first major hurricane of the season. I've already filled up the car with gas and made a brief trip to the grocery store. We are very prepared, so I really didn't need to pick up too much.

However, one item I remembered to get a few bottles of was wine because believe it or not after a hurricane very often marshal law is put in to affect for a few days, and this means no vino, or any other alcohol for that matter. This is something you don't necessarily think about when you are buying batteries and bottle water. I made sure to get wine (Shiraz and Merlot) that doesn't need to keep cold either.

So, that's what I'm doing today. Let's look at the rest of the wine blogosphere.
