About Me

About my blog: The Amateur Wino (www.amateurwino.com) is a wine blog / video series aimed at the average consumer who likes wine and wants to learn more about it in an easy and fun way. I try to mix it up with content for both the casual wine drinker and the more serious winegeek.

About my notes: I tend to write a few categories of notes. One category is brief notes, usually taken at retailer or trade tastings where you taste just a small sample. At these tastings, I try to capture a quick overview of the wine. Please view these notes as snapshots only.

For wines where I have a full bottle or at least a glass (hopefully with a meal), I try to write longer notes that follow the evolution of the wine. If I open a bottle at home, I will often follow its progression over 3-5 days as the wine opens up, and I will try to mention wine pairings when something is worth noting.

For more information, fuller reports, interviews with winemakers, etc. please check out my blog site. Thanks for reading! Cheers,

Alan
