Wine Site of the Month - GrapeStories

Posted on 2-27-10

Grape Stories, AKA CellarTracker 2.0, is everything I had hoped it would be and much more. As a cellar inventory management system, Eric Levine definitely made this a far better, more functional site, including easier navigation paths, more bulk features and a less clutterd UI. But he has now also included a whole community around it - so much so that it already, in the first day of beta launch, feels like my personal wine portal. I can easily see losing many, many hours to exploring all the great new features of GrapeStories. Great job, Eric!

My Top Ten Wine List for 2009

Re-posted on 2-27-10

Just when you thought you couldn't handle any more Top 10 lists for 2009 or the noughties decade, here's another one to add to the mix. This is not a list that covers all the wines of the world, just the wines of my world, those wines that made distinct impression on me, on the nose, on the palate, whatever. If you've had any of them, let me know what you think. Happy new year!

It is amazing to me how much activity there is in the online wine world - bloggers, wine communities, wine sites, winery sites...and Twitter, the online phenomenon where everyone with a thought can share it with others who may or may not care. If you do care, follow me on Twitter and let's start up a discussion about wine.

    Merry Christmas, RJ. Your recommendation of the 2008 Pepperwood Grove Pinot Noir made my year. Thanks for your hard work.

    thanks to both of you - it's been fun for me, so glad it's good for others as well. and thanks for being so active on the blog with comments - really appreciate the dialogue...keep it up.

    cheers to many more good wines (and some dogs) in 2010!
