It's likely over 100K, but I'm not sure by how much yet.

Alexa is useful as a rough guide to traffic (for example, if someone claims they are getting half a million page views a month and their alexa rank is 1.2 million, then they aren't telling the truth). But my server stats and google analytics (which I run on the main page of the site, but not the blog) tell me that alexa isn't accurrate unless your site is a very high traffic one (I don't think any wine sites would have enough traffic to be getting robust alexa data).

When Google searches for Wineanorak, they offer several shortcuts, one of which is to your blog. By clicking on this you are (still) directed to the old, defunct blog. If however you click on the main site, and THEN go to the blog, you are OK. I'm not sure if this is just the web crawlers not having passed over you often enough, but it seems to be taking a long time to update you. Is there something you need to do to intervene? I am sure you are losing (reading) traffic. Just a little heads up. When Google searches for Wineanorak, they offer several shortcuts, one of which is to your blog.

Why wouldn't you keep something like this to yourself? Yes, it is a bit self-congratulatory.
