WineRelease.com's March 15, 2011 Monthly Newsletter.
Greetings from WineRelease.com, now 1,718 winery listings strong!
This is a big issue as we had over 100 winery updates this month (listed below)! Check the site for March releases as there are a lot of updates for March.
Tonight as I write this, I sit by our fireplace here in San Francisco, listening to the rainstorm billowing outside. It�s hard to believe that spring is here on the West Coast. To celebrate Spring�s arrival, my wife, my best friend, and I will be taking a long-awaited trip to the Washington wine region, specifically Walla Walla and Red Mountain, during the weekend of April 9-10. None of us have been up there and we�re looking forward to learning firsthand about the beautiful region through tours and tastings. We�d love recommendations that any of you may have. Of course, we will document the trip and have a link to photos next month.
And now, for the wine......
