World Wide Wine

Learning about wine has become incredibly convenient. For instance, no longer do you have to scan the daily newspaper calendars in hopes of finding a wine tasting or seminar or sommelier course. Now you can receive info about wine events in your area simply by logging on to your computer. LocalWineEvents (www.localwineevents.com), the alcohol-minded brainchild of Texan Eric V. Orange, posts the details, provides a calendar, and even sells tickets to the vino-oriented happenings in your neighborhood. All you have to do is click on the locale of choice. South Floridians can search the fetes in three cities: Palm Beach, Boca Raton, and Miami. Even better, you can register to be notified via e-mail whenever a new event is posted. Just remember that the information highway is the only one where you're allowed to drink and drive.
