The Wine Wank

14 October 2010

The Wine W@ank is on a break due to a lack of drinking during Ocsober.

Normal transmission will resume shortly.

Me: This site is a running commentary of whatever I happen to be drinking at the moment. I try to keep it positive and restrict it to wines that I can recommend to you. Occasionally, if I come across a wine that is really bad, I might feel compelled to write about it by way of warning. I also try to mainly review current vintages and wines that will be generally available for you to buy. Certainly, I claim no formal expertise in wine. Just a couple of courses, and the life experience of consuming more than my fair share of wine over the years. The inspiration for this site came from reading too many "wanky" wine reviews - ones where the "expert" refers to every fruit in the orchard and can apparently taste things never intended to be put in your mouth. My notes are intended to be a bit less serious (and hopefully, a little more humorous). I also hope they are more relevant to the everyday person, and impart a general understanding of not only the wines, but also vineyards and regions. If I ever get too wanky, my rebuttal is that it’s intended only for comedic value. But if you think I’m ever in danger of becoming a true vinous onanist, let me know.
