Here is your opportunity to keep up with everything that's happening in the world of wine and food. Be up-to-date on
"new releases," special offers and upcoming events by being on private mailing lists for FREE winery newsletters.
Newsletters are filled with solid information, amusing anecdotes, recipes and more. And check the list of professional, by-
subscription magazines and newsletters. Even The Wine Trader can't cover everything that's going on in the world of wine,
and these publications are some of the very best other sources of information. Most offer special introductory subscription
rates or special prices for sample issues. (Companies interested in listing their publication, please contact The Wine Trader
office at (702) 884-2648 for further information.)
