Editor’s note: APPELLATION AMERICA is pleased to publish occasional contributions from special guest columnists like Tyler Colman, a.k.a. Dr Vino. Tyler’s plea to “Drink Local” seemed a perfect ideological fit with our own mission to promote each of the 300+ distinct wine growing regions of North America. For more healthy prescriptions from the good Doctor, visit DrVino.com where you’ll find good value wine recommendations and a look at the world through the wine glass, bringing in diverse perspectives and lively reader contributions.
