For personal reasons (mainly current work load), I won't able to
continue writing the Wine Weekly News.
All the Wine community is currently looking for someone to take the
job over. If you're interested, let me know, I'll help for the switch
(as the edition process is done, it would be possible to have several
editors, so don't hesitate to drop me a note if you're interested).
I sincerly apologize to all the readers for the inconvenience and the
delay for bringing you the latest news from the exciting Wine world.
