Wall Street Journal Wine

My wife and I signed up a while ago for the Wall Street Journal Wine Club (http://www.wsjwine.com). So far we've been quite pleased with the wines we have received. Its really a great deal - $140 for a case of wine, which comes out to less than $12 a bottle. We've really liked most of the wines we've received and its a nice opportunity to try out wines we would not otherwise be exposed too. Prior to joining this wine club we were buying wine "as needed" from the local liquor store - and I fully believe in supporting local retail stores - but we were paying anywhere from $14 - $18 a bottle. Whats nice about the wine club as well is that we get a case every three months and that's about how long it takes us to go  through 12 bottles of wine. Of course, during certain times of the year we drink more wine, especially around the holidays when we have friends over, etc. but overall its a great value and a good way to enjoy new wines regularly.

Welcome to My Blog

Hi! Thanks for tuning in. I have stopped and started various blogs over the past few years but this time I hope to finally post regularly. The thing is, however, WHAT to post about. A friend suggested that I pick a topic I really enjoy talking and learning about and write about that. But there are many topics that could apply -- sports would be the top of the list, but I feel as though there are tons of sports blogs out there. Computers -- and computer programming -- is another topic of interest as that is what I do for a living. However, again, that is a topic of which there seems to be a million blogs about. Then there is photography, but I haven't been as much into that as I once was; writing, which is partly why I've decided to once again start a blog; cooking, wine and cigars are also topics of interest. So what I've decided to do instead is just write about ALL the stuff that interests me and I'll tag my posts appropriately.
