In other flash news, the new Prince of Wine flash site debuted in October. Former wine blogger Walid Romaya turned his blog, Prince of Wine at princeofwine.com, into a daily discount site that offered 11 wines in October.
Wine Spies appointed an advisory board to help it "dramatically evolve the site and grow sales." Board members are linked by involvement in related wine businesses: Bill Hambrecht, a wine industry veteran and founder of the tech investment firm WR Hambrecht; Phil Hurst and Paul Dolan, the owners of Truett Hurst winery; and Dan Carroll, a former partner with the investment banking giant TPG.
