Vino.com Launches – Kudos To Rick Latona

Earlier today I got a great text message from my wife, it said " You just had wine delivered, someone named Rick Latona." First off I thought awesome!!! Then I realized, hey wait, my wife is opening my mail.

I wanted to say thanks to Rick for the bottles of wine that he sent showing off his great new site Vino.com. The site really is nice and they have done a great job making it easy to use and navigate. Once again, thanks for the great gift!

I am a big fan of Ricks and have done business with him on both the name acquisition side as well as AEIOU.com. His team has always been great and I am really happy to see that he is launching consumer product sites using his category killer domains. Good work.

Ironically enough we are working to launch a wine portal as well in the fairly near future (late January), so this was a nice little surprise (do not worry Rick, completely different niche/area, wink wink).

Domainers.us Monthly Influential Domainer Voting Happening Now

Just a quick note that the monthly voting for Influential Domainer Of The Month is running now. The nominees this month are:

Rick Latona

Elliot Silver

Howard Neu

Frank Schilling

Chef Patrick aka Patrick Ruddell

Looks like all of the Chefs creative blogging has got him an early lead . I still think this little monthly poll is an interesting way to see what is in the front of peoples mind at any given point as it pertains to domainers in the news. Aron Meystedt was the winner last month after causing a stir with his acquisition of Symbolics.com which has become his blog now.

Good luck to those in the running.
