Okey dokey, here we go again. Last month, I launched the Wine & Words Blog Event, only to head out to Alaska and Maine and leave it languishing in my absence. So this month I’m going to do an official re-launch.

This time around, though, I’ve loosened the format a bit. I mean, who needs structure? So, taking a cue from Kalyn’s infamous Weekend Herb Blogging, I’ve decided to just stick to the basics. And the basics, for Swirling Notions and the Wine & Words Blog Event, is wine and how it enriches our lives and every Wednesday, I’ll be rounding up your posts on the subject.

Here’s how to participate:

1. Write a post that includes wine . . . a wine you paired with dinner last night, a bottle you enjoyed at a restaurant, a special occasion that was heightened by the wine you toasted with. Anything where wine was part of the experience. Include a link to the Wine & Words page and a mention of Swirling Notions in your post and feel free to use the nifty graphic above (just right click and save) if you’d like.

2. Send me an e-mail at lia (at) swirlingnotions (dot) com by 5:00 pm (PST) Monday to be included in that Wednesday’s round-up. Be sure to include:

* Your name
* Where you live
* Your blog’s name and url
* A permalink to your post
* Permalinks to any graphics you’d like me to use

3. Check back on Swirling Notions on Wednesday to see the roundup.
