We're busy preparing for the 2nd annual "Wines of Another Glass" tasting party this Sunday. We started this last year at the end of the Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta to showcase some wines that weren't (and can't be) included in the Fiesta, as the liquor wholesalers don't stock them and therefore are not in the 3 tier (winery, wholesaler, retailer) distribution system. We'll have video conferences with the winemakers and a chance to order the wines direct from the winery. We plan to do real-time online user reviews and tweets so others can follow the fun we're having. We'll also have a wide assortment of food prepared by a bunch of amateur wine-loving cooks.

This is a private, invitation-only event, but if you are in Santa Fe this Sunday, contact me for an invite. Or if you're at the Wine & Chile grand tasting tomorrow, hit me up for an invitation -- I'll be wearing a WineWeb shirt.
