Vulcanalia (multimedia zine)

You may be looking for Vulcanalia, a Star Trek: TOS newsletter published in 1967, which has the sister zine called Vulcanian Enterprises Journal
Vulcanalia is a multimedia 61-page anthology of fiction, non-fiction, poems, and art. 
It is undated but was published sometime after February 1972.
There was only one issue, and then it was re-titled, Romulan Wine.
Contents include a Peter Sunn story, sketches, a page of Star Trek trivia, editorials/reviews & random SFF tidbits, a 7-page comic strip, and a bit of poetry. There are no canon TOS characters in the fan fiction, but a bit of the editorial content focuses on Star Trek and Vulcans.
 
From the first page: "Gratefully acknowledging our existence to Gene Roddenberry who started it all.... A first fanzine which is, among other things, our attempt to see if it can be done in mimeo."

Image:vulcanaliasherman-2.jpg| artist is Cara Sherman, "The Kreng face on page 3 did not come out too well, I'm afraid. How recently was this done? It seemed cruder than your work of late..." from a letter of comment by Carl Gafford (editor of a zine called "Minotaur") in "Romulan Wine" #2 
Image:vulcanaliasherman-3.jpg| artist is Cara Sherman, "I enjoyed the caricature page 4, firstly because of the light, cartoony style and secondly because of the funny lines. Who SAYS women don't have a sense of humor. And howcum you don't letter this well on your other things?" from a letter of comment by Carl Gafford (editor of a zine called "Minotaur") in "Romulan Wine" #2 
Image:vulcanaliasherman-4.jpg| artist is Cara Sherman, "The horseman drawing on page 6 was an interesting mood piece, serene in its simplicity, yet by its nature anticipatory of some sudden action due soon. The horse could have used some work, though,. The exaggeration of Tirak's legs did not jar my eyes as did Sakenn's... In fact, in the simplicity of the design the exaggeration seemed very appropriate." from a letter of comment by Carl Gafford (editor of a zine called "Minotaur") in "Romulan Wine" #2 
Image:vulcanaliasherman-5.jpg| artist is Cara Sherman, "The Tarn and Ermine composition on page 7 rates as one of my favorite pieces of fan art—ever! I'm fast becoming an ardent fan of yours, Cara, if you continue to produce beautiful studies like this one. Even the streakiness of the shading didn't bother me. The proportion, the shadowing, the perspective, this is a beautiful piece of art. Fortunately the bleed through from, page 8 wasn't too severe so we could enjoy page 7 all the more. What else can I say? I LOVE it!!" from a letter of comment by Carl Gafford (editor of a zine called "Minotaur") in "Romulan Wine" #2 
Image:vulcanaliasherman-6.jpg| artist is Cara Sherman, "Page 8! You've broken another unwritten rule; demure young fannes "fannes" is a female fan are not supposed to think like that, Male fans, yes, but not the females.... I enjoyed it, though,- as I do most studies of raunchy nudes...." from a letter of comment by Carl Gafford (editor of a zine called "Minotaur") in "Romulan Wine" #2 
Image:vulcanaliasherman-12.jpg|not credited, "All I can say about page 11 is that if all cult high priestesses looked like that, I'd go and find me a cult and join it. What was most striking outside of the bare chest, again, was the clothing of the figure. Having worked in costume design I can appreciate the problems in clothing a seated figure. Page 11 impressed me more for the clothing of the figure than the baring of it. Quite good...." from a letter of comment by Carl Gafford (editor of a zine called "Minotaur") in "Romulan Wine" #2

Image:vulcanaliasherman-9.jpg| artist is Cara Sherman, "Arv Jones' Batman was well done. Well, I say, even though I didn't see the original, but knowing Arv's work I think it's a good illo. And it was very appropriate for a column dealing with the comics." from a letter of comment by Carl Gafford (editor of a zine called "Minotaur") in "Romulan Wine" #2 
Image:vulcanaliasherman-10.jpg| "The drawing on page 60 is by Brian Wenz from Seattle. He may not be Mr. Right, being an insane nerd, but he'll do 'til someone better comes along (THAT'S for drawing that Vulcan girl so FAT, Bri.) I shouldn't be so mean -- after all, he stenciled his work himself, which God knows is rare enough these days." Cara Sherman's comments in "Vulcanalia"
