About Me

Real name: Josh Woodward

I'm a musician (JoshWoodward.com), software engineer, and wine geek.

My tastes have been trending toward the old world style lately. I love Rioja, Burgundy, Rhone, German Rieslings, and dessert wines (especially Tokaji). I also have New World soft spots for Oregon and Russian River Pinot, New Zealand Sauv Blancs and Pinot, and even a nice juicy Cali Syrah now and then. I don't tend to enjoy Shiraz or anything jammy. I also tend to like my wines toward the later ends of their lives.

For consumed bottles, we tend to go through a half-bottle a night, funneling the other half into a beer bottle, vacuum pumping it, and sticking it in the fridge until the next night. If the wine improves, I'll bump the score up, otherwise, I'll keep it the same.
