I have five email accounts. One for work, a second alias account for work that is for non public use, a Hotmail account that I have had as long as I can remember, an email address attached to my Apple service, and one that I can't remember the password to that is probably filling up someone's poor server with unread clutter.
Why so many accounts? Good question. The professional email addresses make sense, right? Business is business. Then the three personal accounts. One was set up so I could access a Napster ten years ago. That's the one I can't remember the password to. One that I set up back in college and one that came with my Apple account. They all serve a purpose. Two for work. One for friends and family. Then there is one that I check daily because I make sure it is where all my "Deals" come to. An email account full of discounts, concert announcements and other great things. Do I ever email anyone from here? No, I collect here. As a result I save money, get better seats to concerts, and have access to things first.
Every weekend more visitors to our Tasting Room join our email list. About one in every five people sign up. Some people pass because they aren't interested. Others may just not have seen the list or heard us mention it. Then there are those that are email purists. They never give anyone an email address for public use. They tell you how they have the best spam filter and nothing unsolicited penetrates their inbox. They gloat about the fact that they blacklisted Amazon from their server. To quote Christian Bale from the set of Terminator Salvation "Oh, Good for Youuuuu....". You're missing out.
By simply having a second email address to catch deals you could be saving on anything and everything important to you. You could be the first to learn about something new. You could benefit from price cuts, free shipping, early release dates, and many more exciting things. Would you be disappointed if you missed out on a great deal like this?
For a limited time through Sunday, June 7 2009, we are discounting our Viva Las Vegas Pinot Grigio from $15 a bottle to just $8 a bottle when you buy a case. Save almost half off the retail price and stock up on a great white wine to cool you down throughout the Summer.
This is just one example of a great deal that we offer exclusively to members of our email list. If you would like to join our email list and get access to special discounts, wine release events, and exciting news. Add yourself to the email list by submitting your contact information in the form to the right and you'll never miss a deal like this again.
To all of you holding on to the belief that your email address is sacred, you should........ never mind. Odds are you would never read this because RSS, blogs, and the future of the internet have passed you by. Keep paying full retail, our accountant and our bank account prefer it that way.

The problem then becomes remembering to check all of the e-mail addresses, or having them all forward to one e-mail address (and then, what is the point of having more than one?).
