I'm happy to report that this blog has been named one of the 12 "Blogs You Should Be Reading" in Mutineer Magazine's December/January issue. This is the third issue that editor Alan Kropf has put out and it's unlike any of the other wine magazines out there.

People ask me all the time what other wine and food blogs I read. The short answer is "too many"…there’s just so much interesting content out there for any wine lover or foodie. But, with life as hectic as it is these days, I’ve had to pare down my daily reads — the blogs that I read every single day. So, I thought I’d share this list with you. Maybe you already read them.
