Now this is good.
Plans for Super Bowl XLVI are well underway. Whether you’re dishing out over $1,000 per flight to take part in the action or watching from afar, there is one thing everyone will have in common regardless of location: beer.
The Super Bowl is our modern day Gladiator battle and just like in Roman times, the beer and wine will be plenty – in fact, Americans drink over 325.5 million gallons of beer on this day alone (that’s 493 Olympic-sized pools worth of booze!), so it’s no wonder that over 7 million employees don’t make it into work the next morning (slackers).
To help combat the painful Monday hangover, [think] Bytox, the latest in hangover prevention remedies. Bytox stops the hangover before it starts which will allow your readers to enjoy a pain-free post Super Bowl Monday morning (and save all that extra money spent on ant-acids).
Bytox is a specially-formulated hangover remedy patch which effectively replenishes the vital levels of vitamins and nutrients your body loses when you consume alcohol. The innovative combination of vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients help keep your body hydrated so your body will quickly replenish what’s lost during the consumption of alcohol. Plus, unlike the alcohol consumed, the patch is zero calories.

ClubW Marks the End of the Wine Snob Era
New York City -- This is no stuffy wine-and-cheese party at the Country Club… This is ClubW, a brand new wine club and retail site for the contemporary set – a collective of easygoing, affable, stylish drinkers with perhaps a tad more class than cash. This club’s all about bringing fantastic but lesser-known wines at a great value out of obscurity and right into your home. Knowledgeable, relaxed, and social-interaction-oriented, ClubW is into educating members without pretense – introducing people from across the country to new and diverse wines and encouraging them to review, recommend and share, both in-person and on social networking sites. With a refreshingly authentic focus, the club creates a community of like-minded wine noobs, sharing the stories behind the wines/winemakers and encouraging mingling.
The site features unobtrusive, down-to-earth guidance from well-informed sommeliers (they like to be called “Wine Addicts”) along with access to a great deal of uncommon boutique wines. With ClubW, there’s no stifling commitment – you’re free to order or not, in any given month, and you can also buy wine without being a regular member. Authentic and helpful suggestions from the experts are on-hand: There are thoughtfully packaged 3, 6, and 12 bottle-per-month “experiences,” with the 3-bottle experience starting at $40 per month (including shipping). Choose your white-to-red ratio, and let them do the rest!
ClubW participation has countless perks, beyond the obvious (scoring amazing wine at your doorstep; impressing attractive dinner party guests):
· Wine price points average between $15-$25 per bottle, due to the club’s solid relationships with crazy-good yet little-known wineries, like Infinite Monkey Theorem
· An attractive referral incentive: Members receive a $5 monthly credit for every new member they sign up, each and every month that member is active
· Bringing wine into the 21st century, the club gives you instant mobile access to the site and to an exclusive ClubW-created video about your wine – thanks to individual QR codes on each bottle. Scan the code with your phone and let the video inform and enhance your experience
The brainchild of a trio of hip, man-about-town entrepreneurs – Alexander Oxman, Mark T. Lynn, and Geoffrey McFarlane – ClubW is a revolutionary online business model for a new breed of current, connected consumers. This club does more than just send great wines you might never have tasted right to your door: it educates and unites curious wine-lovers, and popularizes lesser-known boutique vineyards and brands. ClubW is about the simple joy of sharing wine with friends and reminding us to give strange and unfamiliar (grapes) a try.

American Sommelier's tips to finding a great wine
A great wine can make the perfect addition to a festive party or a quiet dinner at home. However, with so many varietals and vintages available, walking into a store to purchase wine can be overwhelming. American Sommelier has a few simple tips to guide you to the perfect bottle of wine every time.
· Know What You Like: Be conscious of the qualities that you enjoy in a red or white wine and relay those specifics when speaking with the wine shop staff by adding words such as: dry, fruity, crisp, bold, full bodied, soft, tannic and oaky. Noting that you prefer a juicy wine made with dark red fruits that are jammy can lead the expert to the “new world” portion of the store’s list.
· From a Discussion to the Perfect Wine: Provide advisors with as many indicators as you are able to allow them to guide you through the wine list. This could range from the type of event you are buying for to the different wines you have enjoyed or disliked in the past. The more concrete information you can provide, the better the staff will be able to pinpoint your perfect wine.
· Price Doesn’t Equal Quality: Exceptional wines come at all prices. Know and stick to the price point you are comfortable with and be firm. The staff member at the wine store will be able to guide you to the ideal wine no matter your budget.
Be the sommelier of your own home by serving a bottle of wine that is ideal for your tastes and the event you’re hosting. By asking the right questions and knowing what you like, a fitting bottle of wine is easily attainable!

Wine Enthusiast's Top 100 Buys of the year
The vast majority of wine purchased in this country is consumed within 48 hours of purchase. This list isn’t about that. It’s not about pop and pour; it’s not about instant gratification. Instead, our list of the year’s Top 100 Cellar Selections is about laying the groundwork, anticipating the pleasure and—perhaps 10 years from now—experiencing the delights only a mature wine can offer, secure in the knowledge that you purchased it on release and cellared it carefully until just the right moment.
In the interest of diversity, we sprinkle in wines from a wide range of countries and grape varieties, but since most of these ageworthy wines come from established regions and top vintages, the emphasis is on quality, not value. Despite that, this year’s list does feature 30 wines that were originally released for $50 per bottle or less, including the year’s top pick. Multimillionaires shouldn’t have all the fun, should they?
