I started getting into wine just a few years ago. I enjoy all the fun that wine brings to the table. Wine with food, by itself, and with friends.

Dark red or purple color, but thin and see through like a Pinot should be. Plum flavors, along with other fruits. A little smokey with subtle hints of toast, and some candied fruit flavor. This...

Dark fruit flavors but also tastes of chalk or maybe cocoa powder. Opened up a lot with the Venturi, but got even better after sitting for a little bit.

Thanks for the links. I'm checking out the site now. I really need to spend some more time at the vineyards in VA. Since I live here at all.

Thanks for the comments! My plan is to use my notebook for those on the go notes, and then copy them into a system later.

Dear mindpirate,

Hello!

This is Daniel Shin, studying in MSc Food Management at University of Surrey.
I am studying the consumer's wine buying behaviour online.
This research seeks the opinion of people who have had an experience purchasing wine either online or from other sources to investigate factors influencing customers’ wine purchasing behaviour in online shopping.
I have to find at least 100 people who have an experience of buying wine online.
If possible, could you send the questionnaire to members and ex-members?
It is linked to http://freeonlinesurveys.com/rendersurvey.asp?sid=jj73z5zbvz3kxvj610601
And if you cannot link to survey, please copy and paste the address on the web.
It just takes 1 min to answer the questionnaire.
I would be most grateful, if you could spare your time to send the questionnaire.
If you want to see research results, then I will send you after analysing the survey.
The research will contribute to a MSc dissertation in Food Management at the University of Surrey.
Any information provided will ONLY be used for research purposes.
All responses will be treated with the strictest confidence.
I am only in interested in obtaining consumers' views.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind Regards,

Daniel Shin
