Next thing I know, it's midnight and the entire night is wasted. Well, not wasted, per se, since I did absorb tidbits along the way, but my patient pile of laundry in the closet remains undisturbed. My favorite wine sites encourage interaction -- with a database or with intelligent (ideally educated) contributors or posters, and maintain interest with constantly changing content. But how to find the ones that fit my ideal mold? Google spits out more than 235,000,000 Web sites when entering the keyword "wine," an overwhelming number that exemplifies this intimidating, snobbery-laden topic. But it's also a breeding ground for umpteen sites hawking wine and worthless hacks regurgitating inaccurate information. Nevertheless, in my midnight travels I have stumbled across some gems.

BobLindquist asked a question about the wine and then complimented Chester for having the hootspah to name
one of his wines "The Janitor". Brought a big laugh from the audience and this very puzzled look from Chester
until the panel moderator explained the US usage of that term.
Congrats, Robin...nice writeup and well deserved.
