I know you’ve been watching the horrible scenes on CNN and you understand the situation is dire.  As a wine lover, here is how you can help:

PALATE PRESS: The Online Wine Magazine is teaming up with Brother, Can You Spare a Bottle? to turn wine into monetary aid for Haitian earthquake relief.  The idea is simple – contribute a bottle from your cellar, then bid on the resulting mixed cases. Some tremendous bottles have already been offered, from 1976 Dr. Loosen Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Beerenauslese to a Methuselah (6.0 Liter bottle) of 2005 Rodney Strong Rockaway Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The generous contributions of wine lovers will all be turned directly into money for disaster relief. PALATE PRESS: The Online Wine Magazine will pay shipping and handling costs to deliver wines to the auction winners.
