Palate Press: The online wine magazine is turning over its pages to Wine for Haiti, a joint effort of Palate Press: The online wine magazine and Brother, Can You Spare a Bottle? Our regular features will be replaced with auction lots to raise money for Haiti earthquake relief. The response has already been overwhelming verifying something we already knew. There is no more loving or generous community in the world than the wine community. Thank you all for your generous contributions and I hope you find some perfect jewels in our auctions.
