It’s been a while since I’ve posted a review for any wine. Honestly, it was getting hard to buy and drink so much wine. You know, us liquor store managers are only paid so much and buying a new wine every night to taste or drink with dinner was just too far “out there”. But I do still buy wine and I do still drink wine, just not as much as I was there for a while.
I feel a little guilty that I can’t put a review out quite as often as I was so I’m going to enlist the internet and my experience at the store to help me along. Since I can only post my own reviews ever-so-often, I’m going to pick my top sellers or interesting finds instead. I’m going to do my research, read the label, and probably repeat some of the wine-maker’s notes here. At least that will give you guys, my readers, some information that you won’t have to search for yourselves. I also have access to reviews done by the wine buyers for our chain, and between all the info I find, I should be able to post intelligently about any wine I decide to write about.
Whenever I actually taste a wine that I know will be available to you (sometimes I taste wine at the store that’s from small boutique wineries but our chain buys the entire allotment, that wouldn’t be very helpful to you, so I won’t post those), I’ll be sure to note that I actually tasted and am reviewing the wine. When I use a compilation of info from other sources, I’ll give the sources credit and a link to the information.
Anyway, that’s the only way I can continue to afford to do this website and I love doing it because I’m learning so much. Everyday I see wines I want to try and report about and everytime I do so, I learn about another winery or region where wine is made. It’s too much fun to just give up. So that’s how things will be going forward, I hope you’re okay with it.
Oh, I’ll still give you info about great gifts and interesting wine news, that won’t change.
I’ll be talkin’ to ya later!
