Bottles.

Every bottle I drink, written up honestly, the disappointing ones included. No scores out of a hundred: each bottle gets one label and a straight answer to whether I would buy it again. Prices are re-checked every three months and I tell you when.

Coming up

first reviews

The first reviews land with the next newsletter.

I am tasting and writing them now. Each one gets the same treatment: what it tastes like in words you already own, whether it is worth the money, and what the label actually says. Plus the price, where to buy it, and whether I would buy it again.

Subscribers get every bottle first, two weeks before it appears here.

This section is new. A new bottle lands here every two weeks, with the newsletter.

How I review

Eight labels instead of a score: first bottle, house pour, bring it, the party trick, worth the splurge, for the nerds, fine, not special and save your money. Every bottle gets exactly one, and every review ends with whether I would buy it again.

I buy the bottles myself, I say what I paid, and I write up the ones that disappointed me too. That last part is the whole point: a page where every bottle is wonderful is an advertisement. More about me →
