Well, I'm even more fortunate than you two -- my father-in-law owns Rex
Hill, a winery in Oregon. In trade for doing their web site
(www.rexhill.com), we get wine. Lots and lots of wine. Pinot Noir, Pinot
Gris, Chardonnay, the special reserve, all delivered to our front
door...and any time we want, we can go up to the winery and pick up even
more wine. (If we're *really* good, Paul lets us into his private cellar,
and we cash in on his imported Port and Burgandy as well.) We had our
wedding in the winery garden, and our reception in the tasting room -- and
I can testify that a winery is a great place to hold a party in 103 degree
heat, because wineries tend to stay cool!
One of the best wine sites (in my opinion) is for Sokol Blosser
(www.sokolblosser.com). Althought the "Trout Aid" banner is a little odd
(according to my in-laws, the son of the owner of Sokol Blosser is very
into Trout Aid), the site overall is very elegant.
We're going to be doing a redesign of Rex Hill sometime soon -- they just
redid their labels so we need to redo the site to match. Wine sites are fun
to work on -- lots of pretty scenery photos. (And the taste tests don't
hurt, either!)
