Here you will find reverence and irreverence in equal measure; analysis infused with humour; unexpected digressions; a sprinkle of surrealism and a large spoonful of passion. As much the devil's advocate as wine's, "wine-journal" aspires to be the entertaining thorn in the side of wine writing, prose full of colour (not color); criticism of how it is and not what is ought to be. Click here to read a sample article. The original content of wine-journal.com that hasn't already been transferred is being moved lock, stock and barrique to its new home, including all those sections and characters you know, love and thought you had seen the last of. Furthermore, you can communicate directly with me through my own interactive forum where you can pose any question you like and of course, participate in discussions about wine, life, the universe and everything RECENT ADDITIONS   May 09 Roussillon Part Six: Domaine Olivier Pithon May 08 Roussillon Part Five: Mas Amiel May 07 Roussillon Part Four: Domaine Boucabeille May 06 Roussillon Part Three: Domaine Matassa May 05 Roussillon Part Two: Domaine Gauby May 05 Roussillon Part One: A Quick Primer Apr 28 The Writing’s On The Wall: Château Léoville-Poyferré 1929-2007 Apr 25 Bordeaux 2007: Desperately Seeking A Raison d’Etre Apr 24 Dreams Never End: Pomerol 2007 Apr 23 And There’s Good And There’s Bad: Saint Emilion 2007 – Part 2 Apr 22 And There’s Good And There’s Bad: Saint Emilion 2007 – Part 1 Apr 18 Our Valued Destiny Comes To Nothing: The Real Bordeaux…2007 Apr 15 Round & Round: Pessac-Léognan 2007 Apr 14 It’s Too Real To Be Shown: Margaux 2007 Apr 11 Dream Attack: Saint Julien 2007 Apr 10 The Past Is Now Part Of My Future: Pauillac 2007 — Neal Martin NOTE: Neal Martin's reviews are his opinions and do not reflect the views of Robert M.
