Hey everyone, hope you had a good memorial day weekend.  I was curious if anyone knew anything about this Democracy vineyard.  I passed by a sign for it over the weekend and wanted to know if anyone has had their wines.  Just wanting to check and see if it's worth my time to stop in if I'm back in that area at some point.

Okay, I have been playing with this one for a while and have finally gotten it to work right.  So now when ever you comment on something on the page you have the option to be notified by email when some one else posts after you.  This makes things a bit more convenient for those of you who don't check the site daily, like myself.

And of course if you don't want the email reminders you don't have to have them.  You have to actually select the option when you post a comment, so if you don't want to be notified then just dont click the box.

Did anyone see this Slate article? http://www.slate.com/id/2217806/?GT1=38001 It has a pocket sized cheat sheet to wine importers with dependable taste.

Well to add to all the other various site updates I have made over the last few days you now have a way to bookmark posts.  So now if you have a favourite wine review you would like to remember for later, or an article or forum post you thought was informative you can save to for yourself.

Well, I decided to give into this whole social networking thing and made a group on facebook.  I do hope you all join me on their and hopefully invite all your friends (Please of course).

Here is the link to the group.

Okay, Hopefully you will all enjoy this little addition to the webpage.  I have added a WYSIWYG text editor into the body section of posts and comments.  So all you have to do is type like you would in any word type program.

Hopefully none of you have noticed the recent occasional spam post.  Thankfully I have kept up with them and deleted them soon after the posting (as well as banned their accounts) but it has become a problem.

To eliviate this I put a program called CAPTCHA on the site that most of you should find familiar.  so now when new members register or you make posts you will have to input the random numbers displayed to carry on.  And always remember that the CAPTCHA is case sensitive as well.

Hey, I found this brand of wines in a shop not to long ago and appears to be from California. I was tempted to buy one but was unsure and stuck to a wine I knew better. Any one on here know if they are good or not, and if it was a mistake for me not to try it?
