Here you will find reverence and irreverence in equal measure; analysis infused with humour; unexpected digressions; a sprinkle of surrealism and a large spoonful of passion. As much the devil's advocate as wine's, "wine-journal" aspires to be the entertaining thorn in the side of wine writing, prose full of colour (not color); criticism of how it is and not what is ought to be. Click here to read a sample article. The original content of wine-journal.com that hasn't already been transferred is being moved lock, stock and barrique to its new home, including all those sections and characters you know, love and thought you had seen the last of. Furthermore, you can communicate directly with me through my own interactive forum where you can pose any question you like and of course, participate in discussions about wine, life, the universe and everything RECENT ADDITIONS   Jun 27 Niepoort vs. Noval – Battle Royale!
