ORIGINAL: khmark7 Mostly the majority. I drink a lot of wine from local wineries and many times the wineries or varietals have little or no tasting notes, so i feel that i can add something to the community. I'm much less likely to add a note onto the giant pile of psychobabble regarding Pontet-Canet or some large producer that everyone is gushing over unless i felt the wine was completely different in my opinion. I like this. I started out writing the notes I thought I was supposed to write. Then I wrote the notes I needed to reference for whatever reason. But the more I understood CT, the more I understood it's about community, so today my notes are 50/50. I try to write a note that myself and someone I'll never meet might be able to find as useful. As of today, I have 3031 helpful votes, so I must be doing something ok. I feel like such an outsider sometimes though, as I write mostly about some obscure (and quite inexpensive) stuff (in between the good ones, life is short and friends like to share, as do I) and I don't use points; also, my cellar looks very different than most on this board, again, back to the outsider feeling, but hey, we all get along, so I keep drin.., erm, writing notes
