Digital Common Sense

Yes, I wonder why my brain farted that subject line out too…

All I can say is that it was triggered by Hugh’s post the stormhoek thing. mostly in frustration. Hugh says -

Here’s the deal. If you’re a blogger, and I link to you under “The Stormhoek Thing” banner, Stormhoek will send you a complimentary bottle of Stormhoek wine.

[CAVEAT: We can only ship bottles to where it's legal to do so. Which means, for example, until we get the new U.S. distibutor up to speed around New Year's, you Americans may have to wait a while for the bottle to arrive. Apologies in advance.]

Ok, he says some other stuff too. In case you haven’t noticed, Hugh’s always saying lots of other stuff.

But the point is that we folk in the states are stuck without. I mean, sure, I can zip off to Trader Joe’s and by cheap but good Chilean, Australian, New Zealand, South African. Even a nice ice wine from Slovenia (yes, it’s a real country, and yes they do make really good ice wine). But some of us just enjoy the experience of drinking wine. Not collecting it. Not snobbing over expensive ones. Just drinking and enjoying it.

The unavailability of Stormhoek here in the states makes one fairly want to become a distributor or something just to be able to talk about it. Postively frustrating.
