You may have noticed that I am no longer accepting comments here at BeyondtheBottle.com.

While I invite folks to share their thoughts, experiences, and opinions about what I post here, I have found the spam overwhelming. It's become an arduous task each day, sifting thru and deleting dozens upon dozens of spam comments that have nothing to do with wine.

If you find something worth commenting on, then please send me an email. You can find my contact information in the About section. And please know that I am working on upgrading the spam filter on this site in order to get back to a state where comments are accepted.

I appreciate your patience and understanding. And most of all, thanks for continuing to follow my experiences with Oregon and Washington wine. You can expect more frequent posts soon on upcoming events I am attending such as Outstanding in the Field, IPNC 2010, and other celebrations this summer.
