Welcome

Welcome to our wine blog.

A caution, there may sometimes be swearing in these posts. I always try to be funny about it. If you're easily offended, well you may be fucked.

So, why "Notes of Wine" for a title? Have you ever heard someone saying, while swirling and sniffing, I'm getting notes of blackberries and cherries, or tobacco and leather, or citrus, or werewolf?

I get notes of ... wine. It tastes like wine to me. This one tastes more purple than the other one. My palette has a ways to go on the road to sophistication.

I don't know much about wine other than I like it. But I want to learn more about it, the subtleties between different varietals, and at the same time, I want to keep a record of the good and bad bottles I encounter. I've had enough now where I can't remember if I've had something when I see it in the store, and it would be great if I could just look it up to know if I have had it before, and is it fancy enough for a birthday, or terrible swill so bad you'll never be invited back.

Sometimes it feels like hit and miss. I'm prone to picking a label if it has a dragon on it (who wouldn't. Dragon wine? Are you kidding me? I'mma drink that shit at the checkout!). It seems that some wineries have a specialty, and even though, their syrahs may be awful, their pinots are amazing. Things like that.

"Notes" can easily refer to my jotting down of little things here and there, ala notes "on" wine. And I am also a musician, so the "notes" part relates to all the wrong ones I sing after drinking too much.
