Raison d'etre
I have been writing about wine for some time now. I started my first newsletter in 1991. Back then it was in paper, came out 4 times a year, and cost money. It was a good run, and I had many subscribers, but time changes.
The WineEducation.com web site was started in 1995, and this blog and my book "Juice Jargon" in 2004. In 2005 my newsletter, formally known as Notes, went from being paid to being free, from being paper to being email, and changed it name to "Juice".
Now I am pleased to announce that another paid service, previously only available to a select few, is now free and available to everyone.
Subscribers to the Free newsletter, "Juice" have full access to every wine I taste (starting from earlier this Fall). By the end of the year there will be around 300 wines in that data base.
This brings me to the title of this (terribly overdue) blog. My reason for being.
WineEducation.com will continue to be a great resource for general wine knowledge (and a bit of wine fun too).
Wine Whines, aka this blog, will be the source of wine news, interviews and more topical information.
"Juice" will be the place to find wine notes, and discussions about specific wines and wineries.
And as always "Juice Jargon" is the book that lets you take it with you. The handy reference and guide for how to talk about wine.
As anyone who reads me regularly, or just looks at the date of the last blog, knows, I am not a timely writer, but I am prolific. There is a great deal to read, and there is a great deal more to come.
Life gets in the way (or at least I let it get in the way) of writing as often as I would like, but I have several blogs in mind for the near future, and I am in the process of conducting a few interviews.
There is the book (which makes a great holiday present), there is the web site, this blog, and the Free Newsletter to explore. And all of hose are just to whet your appetite for the In Person Events.
P.S. For those of you that have nothing better to do than to keep up with my life, you will be happy to know that today, a mere four months later, we have our bedroom back (after the flood).
P.P.S. And for you skiers, I am looking at over 2 feet of new powder out my back door, here in Aspen.
