The Wall Street Journal wants us to drink more wine, so they are offering up all kinds of handy tips and suggestions on their new website, wsjwine.com. (As a side note, IMHO enophile should be pronounced winofile.)
WSJwine.com has a top 12 list of wines which can be ordered online--but, due to individual state regulations, not necessarily shipped countrywide.
