I'm sorry to report that The Wine Apprentice blog has been closed. I may decide to re-open it later, if I figure out what direction I want to progress in. I want to thank everyone for their support, but in particular; Calif0rnication, Randy Watson, Ben Simmons, Josh Wade, Seattle Wine Gal, JamesTheWineGuy, Corkd - in particular Jon Troutman. and many more who helped and commented.
