Very cool. Nicola just e-mailed me this photo. She downloaded this cartoon off gapingvoid, then stuck it on a t-shirt. Thanks, Nicola!
[Meanwhile:] The Head Lemur points me to this great article on Ethmar.com: "7 Things I Wish Wine Retailers Would Figure Out Someday". I especially like Number Two:
2. Quit telling us what Wine Spectator recommends. Yeah, this should piss someone off. But seriously folks: I don't want to hear about what they or any other wine-oriented magazine said about the wine, I want to hear what you thought about it. You're selling it, right? Give me a sign that you've had some exposure to the product. Anyone can post signage that comes in the wine case, or tear strips out of a magazine. What did you like about it?Posted by hugh macleod at October 6, 2006 2:38 PM | TrackBack
