This was our first Australian Pinot Noir, and it definitely won't be the last...It was big and juicy with a much bigger body than I expected from a Pinot. It featured red berries, cherries, and some spice. It was very smooth and a bit more complex than I thought it would be. Overall, I was very pleased with the McWilliam's Pinot Noir. Good stuff!

About This Blog

The main purpose of this blog is to provide an outlet for my wife and I to keep track of and easily organize wines as we buy them, drink them, and review them. Although we have been drinking wine for years, we really developed a strong interest in wine in the late summer of 2008. From about August of 2008 through mid-March of 2009, we consumed approximately 35 bottles of wine. I have tried to keep track of these wines and our feelings about them, primarily through the use of Excel spreadsheets. I am hoping that this blog will allow us to accomplish some of these goals more effectively and interactively. I briefly summarized these wines in the first post of the blog. Subsequently, I will post more detailed notes regarding our tastings as we look to expand our palates and continue our journey of exploring the world of wine. Along the way, I will try to make notes about my wine-related influences and provide links to some of my favorite sources on the web. Occasionally, I may post about other life events or happenings in the world of sports and music, two of my other passions.
