Foxy Wine News Network shut out at recent Emmys & Geminis

TRAWNA – (GOSH Wine News Services) – The Foxy Wine News Network is bitterly disappointed that it did not win any Emmy or Gemini Awards this season.

 

When reminded that the Network is relatively new with no product before the closing date, the CEO said: "That shouldn't matter. We put our hearts and souls into our work. We worked really hard and we deserved the Awards based on the work that we did. After all, don't school kids get marks for just working hard, no matter whether they are right or wrong?"

 

He went on, "We broke many stories…on the new red-light district in Toronto for drinking, the fact that Canadian blended wines were going to drop terroir, the WikiLeaks booze material release, the fabrication of the VQA system in 1992, and the concept of SomewhereElse wines."

 

"Plus, of course, the development of the LCBO buying and selling wines only in Euros. What more could the Emmy Academy of Television Arts want?"

 

When reminded that programs must be NOMINATED first before they can get an Award, the CEO said, "Oh, right. Maybe next year."
