What is intriguing about the blogosphere is that it allows the opportunity for a more nuanced and holistic approach to the world of wine. At "Dionysian Writes" we offer a place-specific report (Napa Valley) in a global context, while simultaneously petitioning for right stewardship and education and dissemination of information regarding Biodynamic Viticulture.

Although she remains my favorite British wine writer, you are still my favorite British wine blogger ;-) I agree that Jancis didn’t do much homework here but she did start out saying she doesn’t have much time for such things.

I mena she managed to find TWO wine blogs - out of how many?? The email newsletter format to which she refers is dead and buried I am afraid - HRH may be good at sniffing wine but the online world has totally passed her by.

Granted, I do give mention to Eric Asimov's editorial on Australian reislings in my latest post (I only have three so far). But I wouldn't call myself an avid reader - I just thought the article was interesting and commented - as happens with most issus that catch my eye. I have researched many of the blogs out there and can distinguish the good, the bad, and the ugly. If reading even the ugly ones teach people something about wine, I think eventually they'll learn for themselves which ones they should really be reading regularly. One could say it's a matter of taste, but I think there's more to it than that. I’m pretty new to the blog world and I by no means call myself an expert, but I agree with you.
