Over the past year, we've tried to focus on providing information about our wines in a fun and unique way. Some of our customers have asked for additional background on the wines, interesting info about growing regions, and why particular wines are unique. In short, people are becoming more and more interested in wine.

At the same time, some of our Iron Bridge staff have been studying and learning at Iron Bridge University and want to get into the mix, adding their thoughts and opinions to those of the Wine Guy. They want to step up and become more active in how Iron Bridge can make wine and wine tasting easy to understand and fun.

We put our heads together and created the Vino File. Every other month our winos, Rob, Vince, Kevin and Nate, will review 12 wines in sets of threes, all at different price points. All of the wines are available by the bottle and also in a 3-pack sampler with a 10% discount. We hope you'll find something in your price range that appeals to you. All 12 wines look good? We'll give you 20% off the case price.

We're always striving to make wine understandable and fun. Let us know how we're doing and what we do well, and what you'd like us to change.

As for the rest, we're still having a great time at Tuesday Night Wine Club and doing our open house wine sales. This year, Rob will be traveling the world (New Zealand, Spain, and Argentina) in search of great wines. We're still committed to being the best wine bar on the planet. Let us know how we are doing.

Check out the Vino File at www.thevinofile.com. It's better than Wine Spectator, and without all those confusing numbers.
