Grape conversations...Hi there

Being the fun, innovative online wine people that we are, we thought we'd get all 'new media' on you and show you the variety of ways you can get in touch with us, or contribute to the general conversation, here at Surf4Wine.

So, to kick off the 'conversation', I've just made this new page here where I can post my latest thoughts (maybe we'll move the Blog here in time too... or parts of it. Do people like the blog where it is, or prefer it was off front page, here perhaps?)

And we will list all my favourite wines here that I'm enjoying right now.... well, not necessarily RIGHT now (don't want to spill any on the keyboard as I type!), but at least current favourites. For those of you who are just nosey... or looking for inspiration,,, or just plain bored!

All I have to do now is figure out a way to make it posible for you to comment on my favourite wines - then they can really be part of the conversation too :)

I'll try to make it so various random thoughts get included, as Blog pages, or something, so you can comment on these too. Comment, comment, contribute... go on, take part. Please :)

Plus, eventually, it might include what I'm up to right now (kindly supplied via my Twitter feed) and my Facebook page profile. (There is also a Surf4Wine/Andrew Chapman Fine Wines Facebook page, but to be honest I'm not THAT clued up on Facebook to make terribly exciting right now... anyone who is a real Facebook geek like to volunteer? There might even be wine in it for helping out!).

Things I'd like to be able to get surf4wine followers involved in future include contributing tasting notes for individual wines, being able to see when the tasting note/comment on a specific wine has been updated, seeing when a photo for a wine has been updated, perhaps even submitting their own photo's of them enjoying that wine.

Plus, maybe, if people think it's worth it, a food and wine forum so people can start, and then participate, in their own food and wine conversations. I have a few people already keen on this idea...Any more takers?

Anyway, it's safe to say this page and it's contents might evlove over the next few weeks/months as we enounter new stuff and incorporate different technologies/services within it. It'll be exciting... and in the meantime there is always the wine!

If you want to get in touch with me about anything at all, but especially wine and surf4wine stuff (including your surf4wine orders, my favourite wines, your favourite wines), or anything else that moves you in the wine world, or beyond) please feel free to drop me a line at andrew@surf4wine.co.uk, or give me a call me direct via my mobile on 07720 587073.

Other ways you can reach me:

Oh, before I forget, there's an Ali Blog coming soon too, for people that want to read Alison's musings on everything from her past life at BBC Oxford, to new life of freelancing (occasionally) at JackFM, to her thoughts on music to what the cats get up too.. lots going on! Oh, and she's podcasting on Surf4Wine too :)

A couple of my current Surf4Wine favourites (page updated 05.05.08):-

Tinpot Hut Sauvignon Blanc 2007

Tinpot Hut Sauvignon Blanc 2007 75cl

On of my favourite NZ Sauvignon's right now.

Althogh I am going through a bit of a 'Sauvignon thing' right now (must be the thought of Summer!), so expect to see more here...

Ripe Gooseberries, herbaceous, but also nicely dry without too much of residual sugar that affects so many NZ Sauvignon Blanc

Juan Gil Monastrell-Monastrell, Bodegas Juan Gil 2006

Juan Gil Monastrell-Monastrell, Bodegas Juan Gil 2006 75cl

Just love this wine!

Crammed with smokey, peppery, juicy berry flavours

Quite a serious wine, without being so much so that you can't enjoy it while doing something else - like typing this or Watching TV!
