WineRelease.com's May 15, 2006 Monthly Newsletter
Greetings from WineRelease.com, now 1,094 winery listings strong!
I spent the weekend in Paso Robles at Hospice du Rhone and had a great time at the barrel preview and library tasting, grand tasting and a winemaker dinner at Justin. My friend Randall and I sat at the Peachy Canyon table with hosts Doug and Nancy Beckett and enjoyed great wine, food and conversation.
I did a few Podcasts while at Hospice that I will be publishing later this month. Stay tuned.
And now, on to the show...
