Novice Wine Blog

We purchased a condo at 1502 Calypso Resort and Towers in Panama City Beach and ate at Guglielmo's Italian Grill and Pizza. I have posted a short review of it over at my other blog.

During the Holidays of 2007, I promised that I would post more and keep the blog updated. Boy did I fall on my ass. I have been in a mess up over my head since last August and I believe I can now see light at the end of the tunnel.

Lucinda and I bought 5 duplexes in Owensboro Kentucky and we have been working with contractors to do a complete restoration to the ten units. We have also purchased 2 Florida beach vacation condos one located at 302 Aqua Beachside Resort and the other located at 1502 Calypso Resort and Tower.

We are also working on another special project that will take up a lot of my time. But, in the meantime, let me post about our latest find in my next posting....

Happy Holidays from Novice Wine Blog (Jeff and Lucinda Phillips). We look forward to adding recepie reviews, book reviews, and a lot of other potentially interesting/useful postings on our blog. In 2008, it wont be just about wine as I have a whole lot more I would like to blog about. I hope you come back often.

Enjoy the Holidays and drink responsibly.

I live in Kentucky, and I can't get wine shipped to me. I would love to join a wine of the month club, but alas, the world is unjust. But wait, there might be hope on the horizon. Tom Wark at Fermentation acts as Executive Director for the Specialty Wine Retailers Association. They have started a blog called Wine Without Borders

Wine Without Borders will try to do some heavy lifting by being the ongoing communication vehicle for issues surrounding direct shipping. That means keeping you up to date on legal, legislative, political and philosophical issues concerning this issue. It turns out that the the interests of retailers are the interests of consumers. It's this conversion of interests that allows retailers to be always on the side of consumers on this issue.

Currently wine may be shipped only to the following states; AK, CA, DC, FL, HI, IA, ID, IL, LA, MN, MO, ND, NE, NH, NM, NV, OH, OR, TX, VA, WA, WV, WY.

Give the site a look, visit Toms blog, and put a link to Wine Without Borders on your blog and help spread the word.
