A welcome message from the Dr.
" . . . the more I have studied wine the more apparent it has become to me that wine knowledge is endless: for wine encompasses the study of viticulture and enology, but also geography, geology, culture, government, bureaucracy, gastronomy, meteorology, botany, and ultimately philosophy - hence this blog [and website] takes its title, The Oeno-philosopher."
[Above is an excerpt from post: Memories of the Santa Fe Wine and Chile Fiesta: 1994 to 2009]
The blog is as much about your oeno thoughts as it is mine. So, please don't be shy. Participate by posting to the blog, taking one of the polls (below), or send a private message.
Talking up wine is what this blog is all about!

Two more stellar wines over dinner last night. First 2008 Godello from Vina Godeval in Valdeorras in northern Spain. Substantial weight defined by notes of stone fruit and pear. Next another wine from Vesevo, this time an IGT Aglianico de Beneventano exhibiting a family resemblance to Zin with rich black and red fruit..., but also showing clove and cardamom. Fun, easy, and great with Tandoori Chicken.
