dichroic | #AWineAWeek

We’ve decided to start a new project and resuscitate our moribund joint blog – this was inspired by our friend Brett’s OTTBeerDiary project, in which he reported on 365 craft beers in 2015 (but actually sampled (hopefully not finished) a staggering 1125 beers in 2015, including over a thousand he hadn’t tried before. We are not as ~~crazy~~ dedicated as Brett, so we’re only committing to report on one wine per week, though we may write abut more. We tend to have wine 3-4 times a week. Sometimes we restrain ourselves and take a couple days to finish a bottle. Sometimes we have wines we’ve had before. We won’t insist on having all new wines this year, but we won’t write about one wine more than once – unless we think it’s really changed as it aged. Wines of the same type from the same vineyard do change a lot from year to year, so we’ll treat each vintage as unique.

The wine writings will be over in our Avontuur blog, but I will either crosspost or link from here – or write about the story behind the tasting here.

Here’s all the background and explanation of how we describe a wine, and an explanation of our rating system: Embarking on a wine adventure.

Here’s our first wine adventure: Montinore, special blend. Yes, we started out by cheating, a little.
