The good news is that pretty much everyone posting enjoyed the wines we have in common. Do any of you other CTers get a rush when there are lots of new notes on your wines? Kind of like x-mas morning when I was a kid.

Status: offline 		It is fun, and useful. Especially as I put gifts into my inventory. Drink windows are great as input to deciding a target year.

And I use tasting notes and scores, before the holidays, to have available a gift list. In case I am asked. Which I was. People appreciate a geek like me narrowing down the field.

Cheers!

Yep - absolutely. Also try to click the helpful button when people write good notes. Appreciate getting the insight into wine we have without having to open it. Was a TN that got us to pop a 2007 Smith Madrone a few months ago that was just singing.

Status: offline 		so much bubbles and Sauternes being slurped up in my feed! Also found it amusing that some comments seems to play off my previous comments, giving a wine I gave 92 points 100 and saying "if this wine is too tannic right now for you you bought the wrong wine." Total BS but entertaining :)

Status: offline 		I have it set up so notes on my wines show up in my RSS feed reader, which I tend to check a few times a day. I don't follow all that many feeds, and a handful of those slow down over the holidays, so I get a fairly steady stream of notes - a fun reminder of people celebrating all over.

Was away for the holidays week though and didn't find time to logon - so got the motherload on Jan 3rd. It also seemed like everyone was really enjoying the wines they opened over the holiday season, mostly really positive notes. I chalk this up to better wines being opened and good spirits all around!

Agree (also sadly, BRR....) with both above.
