The work is not done. The crisis continues. If you still have a ducat or two to spare, you can still contribute to American Red Cross Haiti Relief and Development.

Chile, too, is feeling the effects of a devastating earthquake, and once again the wine world is pitching in. You can learn more about that from 1WineDude.

Thank you again. You are all marvelous.

   David- Thank you for all the hard work you did to organize the effort. I’m sure it consumed quite a bit of your time. I’m glad I could contribute in a small way.

   Cheers!
