I am honestly not sure how we’re already halfway through January of 2009 because I could have sworn it was only three days ago that I completely and utterly failed to get a turkey in for Christmas dinner. (We had roast beef instead and it was very nice; thank you for asking.)

However, I did finally notice what year it is when Curious Wines, my favourite boozy client, was nominated for a 2009 Digital Media Award in the Best Commercial Site category. This is nice for me and nice for Katherine, who worked with me on the site, but it’s particularly nice for the Curious boys.  They are sincerely passionate about bringing excellent wine at brilliant value to the masses, they are working the balls off their business, and they deserve every accolade they can get their grape-stained hands on.

Obviously there’s no shame in losing out to major national brands like Argus, 3 or Toyota, but I’m crossing my fingers for the 13th of February and hoping they take home a nice big gong. (And give me a nice big bottle of champagne to celebrate, obviously…)
