WineRelease.com's July 15, 2006 Monthly Newsletter (a day late)
Greetings from WineRelease.com, now 1,100 winery listings strong!
On my Paso Robles trip in May I recorded a Podcast with Augie Hug of Hug Cellars.
Hear how Augie got started in the wine business and his plans for Hug Cellars.
Click here for the 6 meg 15 minute Podcast (you may have to wait a minute or two while it downloads to your computer).
Augie Hug of Hug Cellars
I visited Chicago last month and was impressed with the vast wine inventory at Sam's Wines and Spirits. If you get a chance to visit Chicago, don't miss it. I had dinner with my friends Sheila and Jim Clary. Jim cooked up steaks on the BBQ and pulled out fantastic wines (82 Grange, 96 DRC La Tache, 01 Clos du Caillou). We had a great time.
In a few days I will be taking off to Italy with my family (parents, sisters, brothers, nieces).
It should be a fun time. My goal is to get my brother Dave off Mountain Dew and into wine.
Since wine is cheaper than water and there is no Mountain Dew, I think it will be easy.
And now, on to the show...
