Murry Crispmoose

No - that’s not what Uncle Norm says after his fourth cup of egg nog. By the way, has anyone ever actually had egg nog (or met an “Uncle Norm” for that matter)? I see it on TV all the time, but have never even seen it at someone’s home, let alone out at a party. Anyway, I prefer to change the name of this holiday every year just because it brings a little levity to what has become an inappropriate soapbox for many people.

I’ll spare you all the song and dance, but a little soapboxery of my own is coming. In the yule tide spirit of awkward family run-ins I’ll keep it brief: we could all stand to drink a little more great wine, a glass of very tasty wine, or, I don’t know, maybe some… fantastic wine this season. In between all the ribbons and boxes and bows and stockings (and wine), try and remember that Jesus (if you’re even into that) would probably get stopped at the airport pretty regularly these days. Let’s not take it all so seriously - a little compassion, generosity, and kindness never hurt anyone. Ask Charlie Brown.

So eat, drink, and be merry this year, but most of all, remember that Snooth is the best place to find better wines. They make great last minute gifts! Even if the gift bags are fairly atrocious.

Happy Holid— you know what? Merry Christmas.

Putting our best footer forward.

posted by Clint in Website Updates, Snooth

If you’re a regular Snooth user, you might have noticed our footer has grown right along with the site, slowly adding link after link. Well today we decided it’s time to put our foot down!

So without further ado, we have officially put our best footer forward. I present to you the new and improved, and fully-functional Snooth footer. We obviously hesitate to call this a new feature, but we’re also pretty excited about how much more functional and useful it is now. In addition to the simple stuff like showing our most recent blog post or having direct access to our corporate stuff, there are also some great popular searches down there, as well as links into the site map. You can dive right into a number of great searches, or if you know you’re looking for a particular varietal or region, the popular ones are down there too.

The Snooth Footer

I’ll stop rambling now before I have to put my foot in my mouth, but please browse and enjoy! And, as always, let us know if you think we got off on the wrong foot. Looks like the shoe’s on the other foot now, eh? Okay, I’ll stop.
