It's Like MySpace For Wine!!!

Greetings from Wadsworth, Ohio!

With social networks all the rage, MySpace, Facebook, Linkedin are as popular among we oldsters as they are among the college aged students who have been at this the longest.
With this in mind, I thought it was time to do a column on my favorite social network sites dealing with, you guessed it, wine!

I got the idea tonight after signing up for a new wine community called MustLoveWine.com . This site has all the feel and easy navigation of Facebook and lots of really great features that make this a well thought out community. So far I have made a few friends, posted a few sample blogs, made a few comments to fellow members of the community and had some fun. And don 't forget to send me a FRIEND REQUEST!!

The site is still in beta and granted, I have more MySpace friends that the site has members, that will change fast! As a matter of fact, I have promised to introduce some of my blog friends to the site and see what that think. Let me know your feelings once you've spent some time on MustLoveWine.com.

Another favorite is OpenBottles.com. This site is great for reviews of not only wines but wineries. I've found the wine reviews very interesting and helpful and the site has a nice feel and navigation. I wrote an earlier blog on OpenBottles.com but it is worth repeating here.

Still another favorite is Corkd.com. This one features reviews of wines and an easy way to set up an on-line wine cellar and wine journal. Wine buddies are the friend equivalent and you can friend me up there at as well.

And finally a FaceBook application called Wine Beagles is a cool app with some very active users. If social networks are your "thing" then don't forget the wine communities on the web and again, friend me up!
