    This is an attempt to keep up with online resources devoted to wines, beers and spirits. Editions are supposed to be posted bimonthly. Most wine merchants are no longer listed because I am not a commercial operation. Instead, try Yahoo Wine Shops

    Remember, it's not hard to be a wine writer: you just have to have opinions about wines and find someone to pay you for those opinions. You also have to recognize that there's nothing really free, and that you're getting wine samples, invites, dinners, trips and parties not because you're so great and so cool. You get these perks because it serves a purpose: ultimately, it's a wine writer's job in association with "our industry partners" to sell wine. You might even want to read "Oxford Companion to Wine" on the differences between a wine WRITER and a wine CRITIC.
