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   Jan 04 Wine-Journal Into 2009 Wine Journal Dec 18 Wine-Journal’s Memorable Wines of 2008 Wine Journal Dec 18 Wine-Journal Round-Up Of The 2008 Wine Journal Dec 17 Wine-Journal’s Music Of 2008 Wine Journal Dec 17 If You Please: An Armit Selection Wine Journal Dec 16 Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2007 Part 5: Clos du Caillou Wine Journal Dec 16 Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2007 Part 4: Grand Veneur Wine Journal Dec 16 Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2007 – Part 3: Domaine de Marcoux Wine Journal Dec 16 Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2007 – Part 2: Domaine de la Mordorée Wine Journal Dec 16 Châteauneuf-du-Pape ‘07 – Part 1: Vieille Julienne Wine Journal Dec 14 El Bulli Hedonist's Gazette Dec 11 Rhône 2007 – Part 5: A Sodden Côte-Rôtie Wine Journal Dec 11 Rhône 2007 - Part 4: New Chave On the Block!
