Have you seen the one with the...?

Tonight I want to share with you some of my favorite wine-related websites, many of which I have recently found while working on this web-log. Some are informative, some are funny, some serious, and some light-hearted. Each offer some good advice, one way or another. So, fill up the jelly jar glass with your favorite vino, kick back and enjoy the "sites".

To start things off, Eric Anderson does a great job with his wine review and journal,
Grape-Nutz. I particularly like the articles and tips page (check out the ins and outs of bottling wine) and the empties page. If you're a collector of wine labels, or have wanted to but couldn't get the little buggers off in one piece, see what tips Eric has to offer.

Peter May's Unusual Wine Labels takes you on a tour of some very funny "graphic" designs. These are really worth checking out. You won't believe what people will put on a wine bottle. May also offers some good articles, a site index, and encourages anyone to email him with suggestions.

Now here's something different. Ever hear of podcasting? Well, the guys at
GrapeRadio have and they are taking advantage of this ever more popular Internet technology. They're sharing all kinds of insight and opinions with their wine loving audience, and interviewing guests from around the world. Very hip stuff. Put this web-site in your favorite places and tune in weekly.

I have mentioned
Robin Garr's Wine Lover's Page before and feel it deserves mention here as well. This site offers an abundance of news and feature articles, tips, reviews, forums, photographs, etc. Here's a sample of the Departments List: Wine Questionary, Wine Lexicon, Vintage Charts, Wine Label Decoder, Wine Quotes 101, World Wineshops, Winegrape Glossary, Vineyard Weather... Cool, huh? Well, I suggest you see for yourself.

Another one I have mentioned recently is the website for Wine Institute. This site, while certainly more reserved than some I have mentioned, offers excellent information on Industry news, research, and wine law. When in doubt, or just checking your P's and Q's, this is the place to go.

Lastly, my all time favorite wine website... drum roll please... The Wine Anorak! Yeah folks, this site has it all. Similar to the Wine Lover's Page, it offers the gamut on anything and everything wine-related. But, here's the twist, it's a British site, so you get all that lovely tongue-in-check British humor to boot. Jamie Goode is the host and does an excellent job with the site, a personal blog, and the incredibly indepth and informative articles. "What is an anorak?", you ask. You'll have to go there to find out.

Well, I hope you will enjoy these sites or at least find them useful. I'm know there are many, many more wonderful wine websites out there. Please feel free to comment, as I would love to discover them all. Until we meet again... "A votre sante!"

Make no mistake: Our mission at Tip Top Equities is to sift through the thousands of underperforming companies out there to find the golden needle in the haystack. A stock worthy of your investment. A stock with the potential for big returns. More often than not, the stocks we profile show a significant increase in stock price, sometimes in days, not months or years. We have come across what we feel is one of those rare deals that the public has not heard about yet. Read on to find out more.

Nano Superlattice Technology Inc. (OTCBB Symbol: NSLT) is a nanotechnology company engaged in the coating of tools and components with nano structured PVD coatings for high-tech industries.

Nano utilizes Arc Bond Sputtering and Superlattice technology to apply multi-layers of super-hard elemental coatings on an array of precision products to achieve a variety of physical properties. The application of the coating on industrial products is designed to change their physical properties, improving a product's durability, resistance, chemical and physical characteristics as well as performance. Nano's super-hard alloy coating materials were especially developed for printed circuit board drills in response to special market requirements

The cutting of circuit boards causes severe wear on the cutting edge of drills and routers. With the increased miniaturization of personal electronics devices the dimensions of holes and cut aways are currently less than 0.2 mm. Nano coats tools with an ultra thin coating (only a few nanometers in thickness) of nitrides which can have a hardness of up to half that of diamond. This has proven to increase tool life by almost ten times. Nano plans to continue research and development into these techniques due to the vast application range for this type of nanotechnology

We believe that Nano is a company on the move. With today�s steady move towards miniaturization we feel that Nano is a company with the right product at the right time. It is our opinion that an investment in Nano will produce great returns for our readers.

Online Stock trading, in the New York Stock Exchange, and Toronto Stock Exchange, or any other stock market requires many hours of stock research. Always consult a stock broker for stock prices of penny stocks, and always seek proper free stock advice, as well as read a stock chart. This is not encouragement to buy stock, but merely a possible hot stock pick.
