General Housekeeping & comments 9-30-06
That time again...
Just a few reminders for anyone reading this. First and foremost, this is a wine blog primarily for our own use. We use this to chronicle our adventures in trying new wines - to remember WHY we like or dislike a particular wine so we don't forget (and waste money and time.) It also records what is going on at the time in our personal and family life. If someone stumbles by via a web search for a new (to them) wine, this blog is but one reference to what we thought about the wine. I know I sometimes go out and see what others thought about a wine before I purchase one, or after we try one. It's perfectly fine to stop by the blog as well as you know that a particular review refelcts OUR EXPERINCE ONLY. We are not wine experts, nor are we rookies. We know what we like, and that's unlikely to change. If we stumble upon a new wine that we like, BONUS! Please keep that same mind set on our blog. YOUR MILEGE MAY VARY due to you own likes/dislikes/experiences.
Secondly, I am a pretty good writer. BUT, I normally post a review after drinking the wine. Sometimes, a glass. Sometimes two. If we're really lucky and the wine is outstanding, it may be more... In other words, YES, my writing MAY not be perfect under these conditions! Spelling and grammar errors are inevitable. There is no spell check in this editor. I am not a professional wine reviewer. I drink, type, and go on with my life rather quickly. Deal with it! :)
Strange, but true: our wine tastes seem to evolve and change over time. Some wines we originally loved are no longer in our cellar. We are human - we evolve.
NEW:
*** If you disagree, fine. Tell us what wines you recommend. Let's keep this constructive, not destructive. As of October 1, 2006, I will be enabling COMMENTS to be posted on all reviews. I tried this a long time ago, but things were getting clogged with spam. We'll see how it works out. ***
