Vote for me! And do it Chicago-style.
If you haven’t done so already, I recommend you check out localwineevents.com, a marvelous events site that lists wine tastings, dinners, and classes all over the country. I subscribe to it for events in my area, and in fact I’ll be attending one of them this evening ― a Bordeaux blending class. I’ll even be posting wine tastings and hiking tours to this popular site in early 2007, if not sooner.
Anyhow, Local Wine Events is holding a “vote for your favorite wine blog†contest, and I could really use your support. Click on my voting page and help me find my way to fame, fortune, and a new Mercedes! A lifetime supply of Vasque hiking boots! One million frequent flyer miles and a ski condo in Gstaad! A fully-stocked 2000 square-foot Vinotheque walk-in wine closet in my very own wine cellar!
Well, OK, maybe just some helpful PR.
If you are so inclined, you can even vote “Chicago-style†which, as some of us may recall, used to mean “vote early, vote often, and vote Daley!*
Gratefully yours,
*Richard J. Daley held six terms in office as mayor of Chicago, from 1955 to his death in 1976, and was often accused of corruption, but never indicted. I’ll never be indicted for my vote-mongering either, even if you don’t vote for my blog on a daily basis.

Please forgive my oversight, Erin, and thank you for correcting me. From Chicago I’m obviously not! But I shoulda coulda woulda known better….
