Jason's Wine Blog Hacked

I was looking for some new Trader Joe's wine recs from Jason's Wine Blog (gets lots of positive recommendation here) and it appears to have been hacked. Has anyone got any info on the site or whether it may have re-arisen at a new url? [Mods,,,,, this is MOST DEFINITELY a wine related post.]

    Either they fixed the site or I had typed the wrong url each time I tried it. Seems fine now.

          Still isn't me . . . but the thought occurs to me that if someone hacked the site, and changed the recommendations, how could you tell . . . and would it, in fact, make a difference? ;^)

            Hmmm........ I guess it wouldn't to many people. But I think this has been about the site not working properly, not about someone getting in there and changing reviews. My choice of the word "hacked" was ill-advised no doubt.

              Perhaps Jason didn't pay his service provider bill at some point, site works fine this morning. http://jasonswineblog.com/

      I mean ANOTHER Jason.......... the one who's blog is referred to on the posts about Trader Joe's wines because he reviews wines he tries there. It's been quite helpful for my budget buys.

      I think OUR Jason is on unmistakably record as saying he is not exactly an avid Trader Joe's wine fan. ;o)))

        Midlife,

        Do you mean OUR Jason, or another one?

          Don't look at me; I don't have a blog . . .

            Whew! For a bit, I was very worried.

            Thanks,
