Ask drinkplanner resurrected

‘Round these parts we used to have a weekly feature that ran every Friday called Ask DrinkPlanner, where you good people would write me questions about drinking, drinker’s etiquette, and the boozing lifestyle and I’d answer with great wisdom and jocularity.  After a while it tapered off, not enough questions being asked, and the feature

Help dirty south wine get a really goode job

So here’s the deal: Hardy Wallace of Dirty South Wine is throwing his hat in the ring to hopefully win a kickass 6-month gig with Murphy-Goode Winery.  And he is throwing it hard.  He’s launched a web 2.0 onslaught campaign to get the job (with websites and Twitters and the whole shootin’ match), and he
