I am not in the wine business. I write this site purely for my own satisfaction and the satisfaction of whomever happens to come along and think I have something interesting to say. I can guarantee that every wine I write about on this site is a bottle that I have paid for with my own money and drank in a setting that lets me give it the attention it deserves—not in a mass tasting with two hundred other wines. I don’t solicit or receive free samples from wineries. I am, however, an avid reader of books about wine and occasionally feel inspired enough to write about them on this site, which means I certainly wouldn’t object to being sent review copies of anything that might strike my fancy.
Looks like a blog very well done. I’ve liked to follow you both on the erp board, and now on the wineberserkers. Looking forward to read your blog!
What a good looking site!
Many thanks for the link to Elitistreview.com – I shall reciprocate.
any thought of expanding the tasting group to include some loyal readers?
Great blog. Was put onto you by Snooth. Keep up the good work!
Hi Keith
I am danish winelover and I am a great fan of all wine and food blogs around the world as I always look for interesting tasting notes etc.
For the last couple of years I have been collecting the 19 classified growth from Pauillac, plus the three first growth second wines in the 1995 vintage for a great 1995 horizontal tasting.
The only wine the I have not been able to locate is the Petit Mouton 1995, and I found on cellartracker that you are the only one to post a TN on Petit Mouton 1995.
If you yourself or any of your winebudies have a spare bottle of this wine I am very interested in purchasing it.
Sorry for this untraditional way of contacting you, I you find this inappropriate please delete my post and sorry for any inconvenience.

Love the Devil’s Dictionary. Your beer definition is particularly apt for Australian winemakers.
Change “drank” to “drunk” in the following:
Tasting, n. An assembly of people and wine at which either a large quantity of wine is tasted and none drank or a large quantity of wine is drank and none tasted.
Would like to follow your blog – you certainly have a flair!
