Wine Blogging Wedensday #63 - Musings Round-up

I hosted the most recent edition of Wine Blogging Wednesday and my challenge was for people to find their muse, to really get into the writing of their blog post. A select few rose to the challenge and came up with these posts:

• What was probably my favorite post was from Silene's Cellar. The review was clever and imaginative and showed a true musing with lots of time obviously spent on the post. Silenus waxes about the 2004 L'Oustal Blanc Minervois. Well worth the read.
• The Suburban Wino worked to bring a degree of eloquence to a 2004 Rivata Borolo and found that task I set to be more difficult than it seemed.
• Remy from the Wine Case not only showed an excellent writer, but also happened to find a song by Muse from YouTube. The wine he reviewed was a 1990 Torres Mas La Plana
• Another poet post came from the Wine Undertaker at Undertaking Wine. His wine was the 2005 Schneider Vineyards Cabernet Franc Petit Verdot.
• Sonadora the Wannabe Wino referenced her muse (was it Thea or the butterfly?) in her post. The wine she reviewed was the 2006 Wertzberger Syrah.
• Mary at Vindulge definitely spent the time to understand where the wine she wrote about comes from. Her post explored the 2005 Condado de Haza.
• Kori at the Wine Peeps also found a muse in multiple wines, comparing two Washington state Syrahs, the 2007 Kerloo Cellars Les Collines Syrah and 2007 Syncline Syrah
• The Chronic Negress tasted a favorite wine of hers, the 2007 Can Blau.
• Debbie the Hudson Valley Wine Goddess had a short post, although she did say she tasted each sip for 35 seconds. The wine she chose was 2002 Dark Star Cellars Paso Robles Merlot.

If you missed my musings on the 2006 Ca' Del Solo from Bonny Doon, you can find them here.

Thanks to those who participated. Thanks to Lenn for putting me into the rotation.

Wine Blogging Wednesday #53 – Wine for Breakfast

Well, not exactly wine for Breakfast, but wine that would go well with breakfast. That is the topic of the next Wine Blogging Wednesday, hosted by El Jefe at El Bloggo Torcido, the blog for Twisted Oak Winery. The posts will be blogged on January 14th.

The rules for this WBW are that it can be anything as long as it is a dry still wine. Nothing Sparkling, no rosé, no dessert wine, no mixers (mimosa).

So now the question is, what the hell do I drink with pancakes and syrup? Riesling? I will have to do some research on this one and perhaps ask my friends… well, perhaps not the friends that are 25 and still doing kegs and eggs on Saturday mornings before football games.
