In 2014 I struggled with the desire to write about my wine experiences for personal reasons that I will keep to myself. As usual it was a great year with many many great bottles. I hope that every bottle from my own collection gave my friends a great feeling inside when tasting them. Lord only knows that their bottles did that for me.
I am not attaching any reviews of the wines I tasted. I am only giving the order. I am officially retired from writing with but
1 exception which I will release January 1st 2016.
I hope that my reviews or “short stories” as I see them have
given a small glimpse into my life. I
hope that anybody that has read my stories in the past gets a strong desire to
taste & love wine like me. Wine
tasting will always remain a daily to weekly thing for me. That is, until a doctor tells me I can’t have
another drop. Then & only then I will retire for good. So without any further waiting, I finally
give you my 2014 top 19 wines. (#20 was a beer)~ Yep you heard me right, a beer!
