Updates #1 and Personal Thoughts

I will be churning out a few articles in a week's time. The articles will be about a short restaurant review, write-up of two wineries, and much more.
I am thinking of doing a series of postings on this website once every 3 weeks like a newsletter format. I will just be flexible about it.

I would also like to say that my interest has always been to promote small wineries, and to write educational stuff about wine for people to read. My aim is to be able to make people more aware about the hard work that others have put in to make what they drink or eat. Aside from this, I also hope that people will come out more knowledgeable about wine. I would like people to get value from the information on this website by being able to identify what they like or don't like so that they would be able to choose and evaluate wines confidently for themselves, instead of relying solely on what the critics say.

I have been asked to write reviews and attach points to the wines I drink. I don't believe in giving marks to a wine before I know the amount of work that has been put into the wine. Neither will I grade a wine unless I have a panel of people with me to counter-check and hold me accountable to what I grade. I don't have any intentions of influencing people's decisions to buy something. They will have decide for themselves what is up to their tastebuds. If a wine is good, the tastebuds won't lie though they may not be able to describe it. Many times, I have read reviews and I usually skip pass the wines with low points to read the descriptions of wines with high points. I don't think it's very fair to the low point winemakers especially when we haven't tasted their wines and are relying on reviewers who have different tastebuds and preferences from us. So no, I won't be grading my wines anytime soon in the near future. I will stick to writing about winemakers and educational stuff for the layman to read.
