Happy 2nd Year Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary! Yesterday marked our second year of winery and wine blogging. Two years down and going on our third. So far, 65 wines and 79 wineries have been featured. We've also added something extra to our blogs recently with two special editions; Olive Oils and a Book review....woohoo! There are still many more wonderful wineries to visit and great wines to try.


Sometimes we're asked about posting the “best of”, “top picks”, or “favorites”. Well, all these wineries are unique and special as well as the wines. No two are the really the same. Each posting is about that particular wine or winery and no other. To rate one over the other might tend to take something away from their special appeal. Likewise, everyone’s tastes and preferences vary, so we try to feature wines that appeal to a broad range, with something sweet for our newer wine drinkers to something in a drier, specific varietal for our more sophisticated drinkers. However, feel free to post your own comments on which ones you liked the best and make a toast! (Not to say we don’t have our favorites and our top 5 and 10 wineries in our minds, but for now, we’re trying to remain unbiased. We may be inclined to begin rating them on a particular scale in the future.)

On a side note, one could say that we've now gone "ankle deep" in trying out our own mini vineyard. And when we say mini, we mean a very tiny plot. We're not even close to trying out wine making yet, but who knows. We might just one day start our own production vineyard & winery… If so, we'd have to have the other wine bloggers come out and write about it. Ours would be way too biased :)

We’re looking forward to an exciting third year. Here's a toast to all the wine and winery postings during our second year! We have thoroughly enjoyed the road trips to the different wineries and the different events we have experienced this past year that have enabled us to share some of the experience with you. We may be expanding on some of the adventure and local flavors as well in the future. Cheers!
