...bucket give his take on wines. Strangely, I'm not alone on that last one. Gary Vaynerchuk's daily 15-min. video blog has 25,000 viewers who click onto his site each day to hear him describe--as he did a few weeks ago--a New World--style Spanish wine as "not obnoxiously over the top and fake as many of these types of wines are.

Despite the concerns, Spanish government delegate to Ceuta Jenaro Garcia-Arreciado insists the city is safe.
