I just have a couple of reminders for you this morning: First, the deadline for the Monthly Wine Writing Challenge is fast approaching. This month’s theme is “Fear” and all of the rules and regulations can be found here:

Monthly Wine Writing Challenge #9 (#MWWC9)

Remember, anyone can enter! On a related note, I thought about mixing it up a bit. Here is what I was thinking: We would conduct the vote as usual, and then the top three would be sent on to a panel of three judges, who would then make the final decision. I had hoped to get a high profile wine writer as one of the judges, but the first two shot me down. There is hope that one or both might judge in the future, but as of now, I am back to square one. So let me know if you have any brilliant ideas! Second, I will be the guest on WineLifeRadio today at 1:00 p.m. Eastern (10:00 a.m. Pacific). I really have no idea what to expect, but I am pretty sure it is going to be fun. At the least I will give those who actually listen plenty of fodder for future ridicule. Check out my re-blog from yesterday to get all the relevant info. So that is all I have for you right now, I hope you are having as good of a Saturday that makes sense. Cheers!
