Um, OK, someone want to let me in on it? No sooner had I written about Canada Post’s day long site outage I received this email.
Dear WineSpectator.com visitor,
As you may know by now, our website is currently unavailable, due to technical difficulties.
We anticipate the site to be functional by week’s end.
We apologize for the inconvenience, and will e-mail you again when the site is up.
Sincerely,
WineSpectator.com
I added the emphasis. Not exactly a major burning issue for the grape juice lovers among us but, odd timing.
As a result of my previous post I decided to check what Wine Spectator is running.

Er, OK.
UPDATE: Phew, the Wine Spectator site is back online. Just received this email from them.
We are happy to report that the interruption of service at www.winespectator.com was corrected yesterday.
Once again, our apologies for the inconvenience. We appreciate your understanding.
Very truly yours,

Hmmm, OK, so where did I put that Cab Sauv.?
