The Wine Advocate
Even those among you with only a light interest in the world of wine have probably heard of Robert Parker, the world’s most influential wine critic, and his popular publication The Wine Advocate.
However, you may not be aware that he has a very popular website, as well: www.eRobertParker.com. Membership is by subscription, and offers many benefits for both the experienced wine connoisseur as well as the neophyte, including almost all of the tasting notes and articles published in The Wine Advocate since the mid ‘90s, plus tasting notes and articles from several of Robert Parker’s books. Other features include a huge index of thousands of links to the websites of wine producers who have had their wines reviewed by TWA, plus WineAlert, which enables users to search out almost any wine presently available in the inventories of the world’s major retailers.

Personal Refillable Wine Bottles
A winery in Sandpoint, ID has begun a program designed to help reduce their customers' consumption of glass bottles. Born out of frustration with the local recycling program, Steve and Julie Meyer of Pend d'Oreille Winery have begun offering their customers 1.5L magnums that can be refilled. Similar in concept to how brewery patrons can purchase glass "growlers" which can be refilled at the brewery as often as desired, these magnums allow wine lovers an opportunity to purchase wine at a discount while doing something nice for the environment. Each magnum comes filled for $25, and refills are a mere $16. They have silkscreened labels with a space for the owner to write his or her name. After each use, all you have to do is wash with a small amount of detergent, rinse well, and bring it back for a refill. Now that's a great idea!
