We are two girls on an adventure seeking knowledge of the language, culture and

craftsmanship of wine. We’ll need a lot of help from the experts and a ton of wine (well, not quite a ton). Our goal is to taste a barrel – yes, a barrel – and not get too distracted along the way.

2,880 tastes - 260 wineries - 1 barrel

Wine Experience Ratings

Dear Readers,
Several people have suggested that we introduce a rating system to our blog. We originally thought about rating the wineries but felt it would be presumptuous of us to rate something we are admittedly novice to. But we understand it might be helpful for readers if we had a way of comparing the wineries on a more standard scale in addition to our anecdotal stories. So, we decided we would use a rating systems similar to that of Zagat and rate four different aspects our our experiences - emphasis on the word experiences - we aren't claiming to be experts at anything but being our wine-loving, education-seeking, fun-having selves!



Here are the categories we'll evaluate:
(each rated on a x-out-of-5 bottle scale)

Ambience - How was the atmosphere & setting?
Experience - How much fun did we have?
Education - Was it a learning experience?
Wine - How did we like the wine overall?
