You Me And Wine: Tasting Notes

About You Me And Wine

You, Me And Wine was started by Marcus Padulchick and Tom Cook. Our goal is to educate and inform the common man and woman. Youmeandwine.blogspot.com is for anyone that wants to be able to walk into a liquor store and be able to make an informed decision about their purchase. For years we have both been restauranteurs and advocates of wine; but the publications available have just not been what we were looking for. The Wine Spectator may as well be charged for prostitution with all the paid advertising they publish along with their reviews. Parker is great for publishing an honest review, but very often I don't agree with his reviews. He may rate a wine 95 and rave about it, but if I were to take that bottle home to drink tonight I could be very disappointed. Very often highly rated wines are meant to be cellared before they are consumed and need time to evolve in the bottle. These are things I would want to know.

If you are looking for a little background information about the wines you are choosing as well as an honest review, this may be the place for you. We do not take advertising money. Our reviews are generated to let you know if a wine is drinking great today or if it would be a great selection to lay down in your cellar. Youmeandwine.blogspot.com is a reference source for those who want to learn about wine. You don't need to feel intimidated when looking for something to enjoy. To quote Benjamin Franklin, "Wine makes daily living easier, less hurried, with fewer tensions and more tolerance." Our intention is to help you make wine purchases easier and with less tensions.

Please read our reviews, reference our glossary and read our articles. Next time you walk into a liquor store to purchase wine for your next occasion, our hope is to have made you more at ease with the experience. From reading labels to previewing what is in the bottle to creating dialogue over your next bottle; we want to create a little more enjoyment in your next bottle and remove a little of the mystery. My best advice is this: please don't save your best wine for a special occasion. Make any day special, the wine is the occasion. Good wine and good friends.

In water one sees one's own face;

But in wine one beholds the heart of another.
