Follow Up to My Trinity Oaks Review!

Well DAMN that was fast!

As most of you know, I posted a review of a fan-recommended wine last night and happened to politely mention that there was a glaring spelling error on their website. I mentioned this to merely illustrate a long-standing pet peeve of mine, misspelled French words. Incorrectly spelled words bug me in general, but don't even get me started on French words, especially those that have crossed over into the English vernacular. The (terrible, gut-wrenching) pronunciation is bad enough. The horror! Perhaps that's a strange pet peeve to have, but I won't apologize for my francophile leanings, it's part of my charm.

In my review, I welcomed the chance for an employee of Trinity Oaks Winery to perhaps find my post online and fix the error. I did not seriously think that it would happen, but to my delight, someone commented on my post and stated that the spelling error had been fixed earlier today! Now how did that happen so quickly?! So 'fess up readers: which one of you works for Trinity Oaks? Is it the lovely fan who recommended this wine in the first place? Or is someone really paid to just search online for TO wine reviews and could that person have stumbled upon our blog today? Could the wine community really be that small?

Well, however it happened, let me just express how pleased I am to have been of service. This was a great wine to review and I'm glad that their online presence is no longer soiled with such errors. What do you think the chances are that Trinity Oaks will send me a free bottle as a thank you gift? Hint, hint.
