New wine ezine and a superblogger's cartoon for sale


A new wine ezine has just been launched, including an interview with me. If you’re interested, download it from here.
 
I also strongly suggest that anyone interested in cartoons and/or wine takes a look at this first cross-blog auction in aid of Wine Relief (the only thing that the e-zine and the auction have in common).

Uberbloggers Stormhoek have arranged an online auction of both a special cartoon by Hugh MacLeod of gapingvoid.com and a case of very nice wine generously donated by my fellow wine writer Tim Atkin MW who has plucked these bottles from his own cellar:
