Hi Natalie, April 29, 2011

My top wine picks in liquor stores this weekend feature drop-to-your-knees Australian Chardonnay, Shiraz and Cabernet. There are also some mouth-watering wines from southern Italy that go beautifully with pasta and many other dishes. I've highlighted my top-rated and best-value wines, lots of great wines for Mother's Day (or to celebrate a royal wedding).

I'll be highlighting the web sites and blogs that have recently posted the Drinks Matcher food-and-wine pairing tool. It just takes three clicks to post, so let me know if you've recently added it. It's a handy tool that will keep folks coming back to your site for more pairing suggestions.

Do you have friends, family or colleagues who also love wine? You can suggest them to me for this newsletter. I'll send them a quick note to let them know what it's about.
