The end of another week: I don't know about you but I NEED this weekend. Why is it some weeks just start out busy and never stop?

It's Friday! What's Hot?!

:: THE BOOZEMONKEY VIDEO COMPETITION IS HOT!
It seems that our Monkey brethren are a little camera shy... as of Friday afternoon we have had NO entries for our video competition. Zip. Zilch. Nada. None. Shall I lower the bar for you? Make it a bit easier? How about this... a video wine review? Open a bottle of wine, switch the camera on, taste it and tell us what you think. It couldn't be easier. We've got a signed copy of Matt Skinner's "The Juice 2009" for the winner.

:: A THIRD GALAFREY GENERATION IS HOT!
Without a doubt, my favourite news of the week is that top Mt Barker winery Galafrey is due to see the arrival of a third generation of winemakers this summer. Ian Tyrer founded the winery with wife Linda in 1977, their daughter Kim came into the business in 2003 and now Kim has a pud in the oven. Congratulations Kim! I'm already drawing up a winelist to celebrate.

:: THE FRIDAY CHUCKLE
Today's Friday Chuckle isn't a joke, it's a video. You may have seen this one before, but if not, it's a screamer: Panda Sneeze.

I hope you all have a great weekend, and wherever you are, I hope the sun is shining on you.

Cheers!

Matt

BoozeMonkey Newsletter (23rd April 2009)

It's a short one today -- blame it on the cold weather.

:: GALAFREY WINES COMPETITION
Take a look at our new competition: Galafrey Wines in Mount Barker are offering a $300 mixed case of their award-winning wines if you answer just three easy questions. Would anyone in their right mind say no to that?! So what are you waiting for? You will find the competition link on the front page of the website: http://www.boozemonkey.com/competition.php

:: SHOW US SOME LOVE
Lots of people have emailed me and messaged me on BoozeMonkey to tell me how much they love the site. And I like that a lot -- it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. So why not share the love a little? There are two things you can do right now (no Hank, not that... I'm already married and you're not my type, so get up off your knees and put the ring away):

1) Invite a friend to join us. Don't be shy, just click on the INVITE link on the grey task bar. They'll thank you for it: http://www.boozemonkey.com/invite.php
2) And if you read a blog or a wine review you like, click on one of the social bookmark links to tell the FaceBooking, Twittering, Digging and Stumbling world "BoozeMonkey is cool!"

:: MONKEYS EVERYWHERE!
We like monkeys. You know we do. It would be strange if we didn't. But there are an increasing number of grumpy monkey faces in the members' list recently and one thing we would REALLY like, is to see what YOU look like. Or what you WISH you looked like. So to encourage you to add a photo to your profile, we're offering a prize for the profile photo we like the best. I'm not telling you what it is -- it's a surprise prize -- but I can tell you that I've got one and it's very cool, so I know you'll like it too. SO IMPRESS US WITH YOUR PHOTOS!

I hope you all have a great week: don't worry, it'll soon be weekend again.

Cheers,

Matt
