Why a wine blog? There are some obvious, respectable reasons... I can use this as a way to share wonderful memories with my friends, to let others know about some great wines out there, to answer some of the questions my friends ask me about wine (the Wino File's prior incarnation was a phone hotline, straight to my cell phone). All of those things are true.
But the sad truth is that I have less short-term memory than my cat. This pre-dates my drinking days, by the way, so please don't blame the wine industry. I don't want to be the impetus for the next wave of product liability lawsuits.
I sometimes refer to my memory as the 3-minute, re-windable tape (with apologies to readers who are too young to remember cassette tapes). As an aside, I am somewhat horrified that people who don't remember cassette tapes can now legally drink, but I've done the math, and it's true.
Anyway, the 3-minute re-windable tape theory mandates that if I want to remember something, I'd be wise to write it down. So this is my log-book, as much as anything, of my experiences in the world of wine. I look forward to sharing them with you.
