press SWIRL WINE NEWS PUBLISHES FIRST ANNIVERSARY ISSUE, ANNOUNCES PLANS FOR EDITORIAL EXPANSION Milestone issue features commentaries from industry luminaries Piero Antinori and John Kongsgaard and exclusive recommendations from top L.A. wine directors LOS ANGELES, CA, March 3, 2004 - Swirl Wine News, a newsletter dedicated to making wine fun and easy for everyone, has just published its first anniversary issue. Swirl was launched in March 2003 to give wine lovers everywhere a fun and easy way to enhance their knowledge and enjoyment of wine. Each bi-monthly issue recommends 75-100 different wines, in addition to wine accessories, restaurants, books, events and more. Swirl is sold exclusively in print via annual subscription, and can be ordered from swirlwinenews.com. Publisher Tom Wszalek says, "We're thrilled by the positive response Swirl has received from both consumers and the wine industry. Swirl is a convenient, practical way for wine lovers to get information in an easy-to-read, engaging format. We’ve already established a dedicated base of subscribers throughout the U.S. and look forward to continued growth in our second year of publication.” “Our readers welcome Swirl’s easygoing, conversational style and the range of topics we cover in each issue. To further enhance our value to subscribers, we’re excited to announce that we’ll be increasing Swirl to 20 pages (from its current 16 pages) later in 2004. The additional space will let us offer subscribers even more regular features, all consistent with our “fun and easy” philosophy. We’ll be announcing specifics in the coming weeks.” The March-April issue of Swirl kicks off with a cover story on alcohol volume in wines, featuring commentaries from leading winemakers Piero Antinori and John Kongsgaard. Much of the Anniversary issue is an homage to Swirl’s Los Angeles hometown. The “Restaurants” column clues readers in on the top spots for wine lovers in L.A.; Malibu wine producer George Rosenthal is interviewed in “The Swirl Set;” and “The Wine Lists” features exclusive wine picks from L.A. experts Matthew Straus (Grace Restaurant), David Rosoff (Opaline), Michael Jordan (Napa Rose) and Michael Rosa (Enoteca di Bel-Air). “The Unknown Grape" examines the under-appreciated Riesling varietal, while “What Goes With?” explains how to pair wines successfully with spicy foods. Annual subscriptions to Swirl cost $59 in the US, $75 elsewhere. To order, or for a free trial issue and no-obligation subscription, visit swirlwinenews.com or call 1-866-SWIRL-IT.
