This weekend I hosted a few impromptu, informal wine club meetings. Ok basically I got together with my oldest and best girlfriend Emily and we sipped some new wines together while filling out my wine tasting notes worksheet. Seriously if you want to learn about wine this is a great way to do so!

I went wine tasting in Calaveras County last Saturday with 7 of my best girlfriends. We went to a record breaking 7 wineries and bought a total of 17 bottles of wine. Needless to say when we arrived home at the vacation party, we had a little dance party.

An article in Slate.com (www.slate.com/id/2177629) by Mike Steinberger calls into question the importance of judging wines only by a blind tasting. Does this make for the best wine criticism?
"Blind tastings are wonderfully democratic, but there is a tendency to overlook the fact that wines and palates are fickle and to read more into the results than is justified," he says, citing a tasting in which American wines beat some of the top rated Burgundies and Bordeaux, and saying that the tasting didn't prove their superiority.

While at the San Francisco Chronicle wine competition, I chatted with one of the pourers about specific types of wine tastings. Both of us were confused on the exact meaning of vertical vs. horizontal tastings.
