News - The iPhone is (finally) coming to Verizon
Wine apps that help you pick a wine
Wine is subjective - we like different wines for different reasons
Breaking down the process - Color, Texture, Flavors, & types of wine
Red wine vs. white wine
Grape Spotlight: Syrah (or Shiraz, depending on a few things)
