This weekend I received and incredibly polite email from a woman named Leslie Joy. She had seen a post I’d made on the Outright entrepreneur community mentioning virtual assistants.

Lucky Duck Wine has great taste and terrific branding
Alright, I’ll admit it, I’m intrigued by this wine. I found it for under $4 at Wal-mart the other day, and being the impulsive shopper I am I decided to pick up a bottle. What the heck, right?
