To Write.
Or more specifically in this case ... To Blog. Personally I like the former over the latter. I hate to say it but blog is such an ugly word. Its like the sound a frog would make if picked up too roughly while it shits on your hand.
For the most part, this will be a wine related blog. However, no topic will go untouched I should think. In that case any topic is open for discussion. Primarily those topics that relate to me and my particular interests will be focused on.
These being the following:
- WINE - nectar of the gods or pap of the populace and all points in between
- spirits and any other fine beverages that can be consumed
- FOOD - without food, wine would be merely a drink. Food elevates wine and vice versa. Recipes will be posted and welcomed in kind. Wines will be recommended for each dish or menu.
I think there is enough controversial opinions out there on food and especially wine that this should engender a wealth of topics and and opinions.
I am not an expert in wine and food but I do hold my own opinions and will gladly voice them. Anyone who considers themselves an expert on wine is often fooling themselves. There is far more to the world of wine than can be imagined. The same could be said for food. Yet I am a certified sommelier through the ISG. I have worked in fine dining restaurants for nearly a decade. I am now a full time student finished my 3rd year of a Bachelor of Biochemistry with a mind to becoming a winemaker. Over the last two years I have worked in vineyards for the summer and helped in the winery during harvest. I could be considered a case of a little knowledge proving to be a dangerous thing. I guess that would be only in the event of this getting me in trouble. HEHEHE
However, what is a blog without readers. Very little, in point of fact. So in saying that, I hope this will resemble a forum for those like minded people passionate about wine and food where respect for the differences in opinion is mutual. In other words, I will respect yours if you respect mine. Wink Wink Nudge Nudge Say no more Say no more.
I hope that these posts do not devolve in to obtuse ramblings ... at least not too often. Otherwise, I will start soon with tasting notes on local wines from the Okanagan in BC or those abroad with an eye toward good value wines.
Enjoy!!!
