Thank you for the kind words, and I like your blog, too--which is why it's in the sidebar! I know what you mean about blogging in between all the rest of the stuff most of us do in a given day, but I'm grateful to all the wine bloggers like you who choose to do it. If blogging goes entirely corporate we loose all the gains we've made in terms of adding new voices to the wine conversation in this country. Take care, and keep blogging! See you back here soon, or over on your site.Dr. Debshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02892131332003571463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-88347665049384843262007-03-12T21:58:00.000-07:002007-03-12T21:58:00.000-07:00I really like your blog, Thanks for adding a link ...I really like your blog, Thanks for adding a link to The Blog Wine Cellar, I work hard make make a half way decent blog with wine reviews. I work for a retail wine shop and and also full-time for a wine whole-saler which leaves me just enough time to write my blog and share some of the wines I'm tasting on a day to day. It's good to see fellow cork dorks doing the same and bringing much needed recommendations and light to all those who partake of the special juice. Keep up the goods mate!thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00608855217665181427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-811657534481632422007-03-12T17:58:00.000-07:002007-03-12T17:58:00.000-07:00Good to see you over here, Andrew. Well, I tried t...Good to see you over here, Andrew. Well, I tried to describe it in the review: "a bit of barnyardy, bretty funk caught in your throat at the end. For me, it always smells like sweaty saddle leather, but your perception as always might differ." Kind of like a horsebarn with a sweaty horse and lots of manure. It wasn't overpowering, but it was definitely there, along with the fruit aromas and flavors. Not unpleasant, but there. Does that help?Dr. Debshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02892131332003571463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-67188040460507912102007-03-12T17:41:00.000-07:002007-03-12T17:41:00.000-07:00describe 'funky'describe 'funky'Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13173791294052288116noreply@blogger.com
