The Ones That Fall Through the Cracks

wines that we don't write aboutFinding it a little hard to be inspired this morning….  Maybe it’s this string of hot days that threatens to continue.  That wouldn’t be so bad, except I work all day in a tasting room with no air conditioning to go home to an apartment without any, either.  I haven’t been drinking too much wine, and the wine I have been drinking, I haven’t felt like writing about.  So it got me to thinking about wines that fall through the cracks (i.e. the ones that don’t get written about).

I’ve compiled a list of reasons this might happen:
~The wine wasn’t very interesting, in either a good or a bad way
~Too tired to take notes
~Couldn’t find the camera or didn’t remember to take a picture of the bottle before it went out in recycling
~Forgot to write all the info down and I’m too lazy to look it up
~Was drinking too much that week and had more than enough to write about and then forgot about it
~Having too much fun to think about taking notes
~Drank the bottle at work, but had to be sneaky about it and couldn’t pull out the camera and notebook
~Had it at a restaurant and wrote my notes on a napkin or receipt, which later got thrown away by accident

To my fellow wine bloggers and writers, can you think of any other reasons?

  1. Richard A. says:

    Had a wine at a friend’s house but never actually saw the bottle.

  2. I think Richard added a good one. Sometimes you go to a friend or families house and don’t feel like whipping out the notebook. Other than that I think you covered all the bases well.

    Nice post

  3. A couple more….
    - The company you are with is so good that you forget about the wine entirely.
    - Like me, I say “I have to remember this wine next time I go to the wine shop.” Three secnods after the recycle truck picks up my empties, at my age, I even forgotten if it was red or white.
