New On-Line Wine Magazine Hits the WebTaking a traditional print media wine column on-line doesn’t necessarily make it a wine blog, but does putting a bunch of wine bloggers together create a legitimate on-line magazine? We shall see.  The Urban Wineauxs Appear in this Week's Palate Press Enter Palate Press. Recently launched and now in its second week, Palate Press is the brainchild of Attorney, Wine Writer and Cartoonist David Honig, who says
Honig serves as the magazine’s publisher, which can often involve herding cats — or perhaps feel like it, anyway. At the helm of Editor-in-Chief is W.R. Tish, or simply “Tish” in the wine world. Former editor of Wine Enthusiast magazine, Tish was also behind the 2009 April Fool’s Day Dregs Report, that included our story Give Birth to Your Own Little Sommelier. Both Joe and I have signed on as Contributors, and you may recognize the names of some of the other writers and editors from twitter.com or in comments on Another Wine Blog. Each brings his or her own “special sauce” to Palate Press. This week, Palate Press includes a story about the group called the Urban Wineauxs and its creator and wine mistress Iris Allen. It’s called Tasting Clubs: Solving the Mystery One Glass at A Time, and you can find it under The Wine Life tab. We just returned from a trip to Dallas and an Urban Wineauxs Wine Dinner at Ken Rathbun’s five star restaurant, Abacus. You’ll hear more about our trip soon, but we wanted to let you check out our article in Palate Press in the meantime. Another interesting story on Palate Press deals with nutrition labels on wine bottles. Jeff Siegel, a Dallas-based wine writer and author of The Wine Curmudgeon, takes a look at some federal agency proposals that have the wine industry in a bit of a tizzy. And that Luscious Lush herself, Thea Dwelle promotes a life of zin in her story, Zinfandel: A California Original? We’ve heard rumors that the good folks over at e-Bob have been reading the posts on Palate Press with great interest, so we suspect you’ll want to do the same! Cheers!

Excellent, and congratulations! If I may make a suggestion, I would love to see a “wine for foodies (or foodies that are wine dummies)” column or post, with help on pairings. I feel clueless sometimes and the whole world of wine can be a bit intimidating, especially if you create an amazing meal and bring it down a notch by serving the wrong wine. Just a suggestion!

Palate Press is off to a great start. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your article on the Urban Wineauxs.

thanks. We enjoy being part of the Urban Wineauxs activities — so it was easy to write about them

Funny you should mention that — Joe has an article featuring a recipe and pairing scheduled to appear soon on Palate Press. Be on the lookout for it!

Excellent! By the way I love your comment system.
Please keep in mind the “dummies”, or “foodies clueless with wine” for your pairing article.
Cheers!

[...] Another Wine Blog Does Dallas! Posted by Amy Corron Power on 09/19/09 Most Saturday afternoons you’ll find us in Houston, enjoying Tintos tapas and tastings with a group called the Urban Wineauxs. As defined by the groups’ creator Iris Allen: an Urban Wineaux is “A wine connoisseur who consumes large quantities of wine from a glass at inner city dwellings!” Even though we currently live in the suburbs, they are nice enough to let us join them. You can read more about Iris and the Urban Wineauxs in our current post in Palate Press. [...]
