A Visual Wine Tasting Note Posted by Andrew Barrow, 2:01pm 15/08/2007.  Talk and debate on the future of wine tasting notes, the style, the content and whether to include ratings and scores have occupied the wine blog arena for many a long year.
Ratings abound - the 20 point scale, the 100 point, the 5 star, the kangaroo's - all are common place but all are accompanied by a textural description. Until Château Petrogasm began blogging this June.
For a long time, the problem with wine has not been pairing it with food, but rather with words. At Château Petrogasm, we evaluate and describe wine by departing from the traditional methods of review. In doing so, we hope to provide a valuable tool for wine drinkers by using colors, sketches, photography, and other visual media in order to convey both the intrinsic components of a particular wine along with a general impression of it. Wine is art, drinking it should be too!"
The visual method of describing a wine may have its limitations - as many of the wine blog writers are discovering as they engage in a multi-blog event to encapsulate a wine via a pictorial image. Tricky it maybe, but it is proving a fun exercise.
Here is our take. No verbal clues but it is a depiction of Chablis 'La Colombe', Paul Boutinot available for £8.99. ^ Back to top
