I prefer reading everything on the computer anymore. Those magazines stink
to high heaven. I know it doesn't bother some, but I could fall down dizzy
from the odors. I 'peek' into them occasionally at Borders while sipping my
coffee, but never lift them off the shelf.
A total novice myself, I wouldn't buy the magazine for the content. There
is one large wine encyclopedia that I had settled on but the color
photographs sent me reeling.

Good thing wine doesn't bother me 'as badly.'
