WINES BEERS AND SPIRITS OF THE NET
compiled by DEAN TUDOR
Member, Wine Writers' Circle of Canada, and Principal of Gothic Epicures Writing
This is an attempt to keep up with online resources devoted to wines, beers and spirits. Editions are posted bimonthly. Remember, it's not hard to be a wine writer. You just have to have opinions about wines and find someone to pay you for those opinions. Most wine merchants are no longer listed (I am not a commercial operation). Instead, try Yahoo Wine Shops
