Wine Judges Reliability
I don't subscribe but the latest issue of the Journal of Wine Economics (Vol. 3, No. 2) just released(www.wine-economics.org/journal) has a worrying report, worrying for both the integrity of wine judges and for the drinker who relies on such expertise -
The lead article is by Robert T. Hodgson, who analyzes the reliability of wine judges at a major California Wine Fair. “Each panel of four expert judges received a flight of 30… Continue

Recent Twitter Wine Tasting - some thoughts
These have probably been considered by everyone else but having not seen them recorded elsewhere I thought I would go ahead and post.
The recent Twitter Hugel wine tasting was much fun (Alsace food AND wine!) but is twitter the best platform for such a worldwide event?
Advantages:
immediancy

Chilling Red Wines
Looks like the campaign-that-isn't started by, I believe, Confessions of a Wino and The Wine Conversation is getting some traction. Now someone called Joanna Simon has taken up the cudgel and written a piece advocating the very same.

Hamish Wakes-Miller said… - Hi Andrew
Just started a blog last month for Bella Wines. We are based in the South of France, however I zoom back to England far too often to flog grog to mainly independent merchants. We work with good producers in Languedoc Roussillon, Bordeaux, South Africa and Australia. If you get a moment have a look at www.bellawines.co.uk or http://bellawines.blogspot.com/
Cheers

- Actually, we are scheduled to host the "one image theme" sometime in the near future.
But, I like the 7 word theme, as it is all too easy to fill a tasting note with a bounty of adjectives and berries!

This would be the perfect forum for another Chateau Petrogasm contest like the one you started in June!
