WineRelease.com's June 15, 2006 Monthly Newsletter
Greetings from WineRelease.com, now 1,094 winery listings strong!
Last month in Paso Robles I recorded a Podcast with Karen the "Second Fiddle" of Fiddlehead winery (click here for the 8 meg 36 minute Podcast). More Podcasts to follow.
The results of the WineRelease.com Sonoma Valley Reader's Choice are attached (or click to download Sonoma or Napa). Those who replied to the survey received them a few weeks back.
I will be doing a Reader's Choice survey for Paso Robles next, then Santa Barbara. Please reply when you receive the request.
