Winenot Wednesday 4

The tragedy of my new job, a step-up in the wine industry for me, is a serious lack of wine. Oh I have plenty of access to it, but have not had much time to drink (or even taste) much. I’m hoping that will change soon.

In the meantime, I have been enjoying reading the tasting notes that have been linked up with #Winenot. Writing a good tasting note is a bit of an artform. I think there is something in telling the story of the wine and your experience of it and I love that you all seem to feel the same way.

The most popular post last week (and also one of my favourites) was The Sommelier Chef‘s post asking Are you a Wine Snob? This had me thinking… I most definitely am a winegeek and a bit of a winenerd – the difference being that the geek version has a little less knowing and a little more enthusiasm. I also like quality wine but I think that is achievable at most price points. I think that makes me not a snob. I hope it does…

Tasting Page wrote about her (epic) tour of the Willamette Valley Wineries. It is one of those places I have only really read about in textbooks. Her pictures are lovely and her post gave me a much better sense of the wine from this region.

Continuing the winery theme, Wine is a Verb wrote about Yering Farm – a gorgeous boutique winery in the Yarra Valley. I have been to this winery a number of times and am a big fan of their wines. Now that I know they do enormous cheese platters too, I am definitely returning.

Make sure you also pop over and check out Louise’s favourites.
