Serious Grape: Pinotage, the Wine for Coffee Lovers
I am a big fan of Pinotage, though I don't drink coffee at all. For inexpensive Pinotage, I recommend Hill & Dale, which is usually under $10. For higher end, the Kanonkop, around $35 or so, is fantastic.
You can find great info on Pinotage at Peter May's "The Pinotage Club", a blog devoted to just Pinotage. http://pinotageclub.blogspot.com
Serious Grape: The Next Big Wine Region Is in Your Backyard
With wineries in every state, people have lots of places to explore new wines. But I agree with you that sales, distribution, and shipping regulations can make it very difficult to find some of these new wines. Even though I live in MA, it can still find hard to find NY wines in local stores. It can even be hard to find MA wines in many local stores. It takes effort to find these wines.
At the recent Boston Wine Expo, I was lucky to find a new MA wine, an apple ice wine that I really liked (and will review on my blog on Sunday). I also got to try a number of NY Finger Lake wines and found some impressive ones (which I will also post about in the near future).
I fully agree with your sentiment about seeking out and supporting local wineries.
Serious Grape: Reading About Historic Wines You'll Never Drink
It sounds like a fascinating book, especially as I too love both wine and history, so I will be sure to look for it in my local book store. I very much enjoyed Billionaire's Vinegar and Broadbent is certainly an intriguing personality.

I think a nice Japanese Sake would also be a good choice for the salmon. In fact, Sake is a great pairing for any type of seafood.
I recently read an intriguing assertion that Sake actually pairs better with seafood than wine, because wine has far more sodium, which tends to bring out the fishiness in seafood. I have not done my own testing yet on that theory.
