There are a few things I need to address.

First, I encourage everyone to head out to both Liquor Directs for their free tastings today. Remember how Tim and I hosted tastings two weeks ago? Well, this week you can find Mike from the Naked Vine and Jonathan from Best Drink Ever. Go support your local wine bloggers. There are only 4 of us, after all! I’ll be swinging by both stores myself. The tastings run from 2-6 pm today and are usually far less crowded than the Friday tastings. Find your favorite Liquor Direct location on their web site.

Next, I’m behind. Sorry folks. Around here, our schedules are ramping up in an almost ridiculous way and will culminate in the holidays. I’ve got a bunch of real world (read: not wine) presentations and travels coming up. Additionally, Kevin & I are headed west to Sonoma (with Tim Lemke) for the Wine Bloggers Conference. I’m incredibly excited but crazy busy. The point of all this? I may be missing the weekly round-up of tastings periodically. That’s okay. You don’t need me to write them up for you – all you need to do is visit the calendar. I promise I’ll keep it up to date. So even if I run out of time to post the weekly events, you can still access them. Cool?

For information on what’s going on in Dayton, you can refer to Mark’s blog at Uncorked.
