Hi Everyone,

The Grapeshot community is still very much in its BETA stage, but already we have a listing on the Mahalo wine page (http://www.mahalo.com/Wine). This is grat news as it will help to attract new members to our community. Other good news is that the videos and pictures are available to anyone as they are turned into widgets at www.widgetbox.com.
