In the earliest days of my life on the WWW I have received the support of a few enthusiasts who kept believing I could do it, despite being a computer illiterate. Their interest is with the web-world in general, and not with wine. Still, my thanks go to Nick Steven and Jose M. Enrique, also known to the world of BBS Olohof (a Dutch chatter where I appear as 'plonk') as 'snorky' and 'raptor'.

When my first version of this page appeared on the WWW, I received encourageing remarks from a few fellow page-owners. Their remarks have encouraged me to go on with this time consuming effort. Thanks to Chris van Wincoop and Robin Garr. Their sites appear below.

A few links:

• Chris van Wincoop's 'Winelovers Page' A well designed winepage, that allows the visitor a virtual visit to a wine castle.
• Robin Garr's Wine Lovers' Page hardly needs further introduction to the wine-surfer. A true wine lover with a page full of information, and other links. Rightly chosen one of the best winesites on the web. So I'm honoured to appear in your links, Robin.
• The winesite of University of California Davis is a most impressive one. Any technical, scientific or bibliographical information can be obtained there.
• De 'Vinolieren' are another Dutch group of wine enthusiasts. The site is mainly focussed on Bordeaux wines.
• Any scanned wine label is thankfully accepted by Strat's Place Wine Labels. They're the place where everyone comes looking, so please send yours there.
• Wine cellar software is gaining more and more interest of winelovers who use modern computer technology. On my surfsessions over the net I have come across a few interesting programmes. At NapaValley/5996 a neighbour of my home site provides a free of charge Wine Cellar software programme that is downloadable and appears very interesting. More professional in development (and in price) is the CD-ROM software that is provided via Robert Parker's Wine Software. This extended programma has lots of graphic features and the luxury version inlcudes a full database of Mr. Parker's tasting notes. Have a look at www.winetech.com to judge for yourself. I have not tested either programme yet, but the opportunities of both programmes seem interesting.
