Wino’s Favourites
Thursday, May 15th, 2008Many people have contacted me asking why it is so difficult to find recommendations on my site. Sample quote, “I just wanted to find a decent red to take to a dinner party and I had to page through the whole bloody site!”
I am generally against rating wine because it is so subjective. Who am I to judge whether you will like a wine or not? However, I can judge whether I like a wine or not, so I use a binary rating scale.
1 = I like it
0 = I don’t like it
So I am not going to award 5 stars, or 90/100 points, or even a top ten. But I have decided to start a favourites page where I will highlight wines that I tried recently and really liked. Some food venues are also covered. It is completely subjective and totally at my discretion how long an item stays in my “favourites” and demotion does not mean I no longer like it. It’s just a fun way of sharing my thoughts, albeit somewhat randomly.
You can find Wino’s Favourites under “Pages” (see top right on the home page).
Any feedback is appreciated.
