Introduction to a new blog

It is August... Grapes are being picked. The wine is getting bottled. In a few weeks the students will be back in classes. This blog is to help anyone interested in grapes and wine to keep up with the news. There also will be related links that may be of interest.

At times, if I get carried away, there might be postings not really about viticulture or enology, but about things that I have found to be amusing/annoying/entertaining. Those side interests will be called "tendrils" or "branches" of the blog.

If you feel strongly enough to comment on anything that is included in this blog, please let me know. I would appreciate your taking the time to write to me to improve what I put in this blog.

Off we go...
