Happy new year one and all! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and got to enjoy some special pours with family and friends.
Last year was certainly a busy one for me. I went on a number of trips, notably one to Italy, courtesy of the wonderful people at Banfi Vintners, and one touring a variety of wine regions along California’s Central Coast. I also attended a number of wine related events and tastings, got my Certified Sommelier accreditation, and began more seriously pursuing my studies in culinary arts. That said, I was a little disappointed with the number of articles that I have had the time to write, and I felt that I simply did not get around to covering some great, and truly deserving discoveries.
That’s why this year I’m debuting something new. In addition to my regular articles, I now plan to also launch a series of mini articles that I’m calling my “Sip of the Day”. I still plan to launch my full length articles throughout the week, but on the days in between, these will give me the chance to quickly talk about some of my most recent finds. Each “Sip of the Day” post will cover one wine, briefly talk about its story, give some tasting notes, and talk about where to get it. As most of my regular posts usually talk about at least two and sometimes up to five or so wines, the idea behind the “Sip of the Day” is to give me the freedom to cover whatever I want, without having to figure out what other wines I can group together with it for a full length article. I’ll be able to offer more variety and my posts will be much more current.
On a related note, I also intend to post my #WWDN, What’s Worth Drinking Now, statuses on Facebook and Twitter more often. I’ll be giving updates on my most recent discoveries as I find them, so if you want to stay updated with the latest be sure to follow me or friend me up.
I’m looking forward to sharing some awesome finds with you all in the upcoming year, and I can’t wait to put my newest changes to work. Wishing everyone a very happy and prosperous 2012.
Cheers,
