Well it’s the New Year. It’s been a couple years now that I’ve thought about getting a site off the ground. I’ve just resisted. If I’m going to do it, I want it to be done right. Frankly, I see so many blogs out there that just seem to ramble and not say very much. Or others where the author is just ranting. I would like to create a site that is of use.
Ideally, anyone who spends any time on this site should leave it feeling like they’ve know more that they do before visiting. I hope to achieve that. That is what I expect (or hope for) when I visit a site.
My bent. Well I am not extremist but I expect a lot from wine. I prefer length over size, complexity over brute strength. Balance, length, complexity, intensity…that is what I’m looking for. More than that, I’m looking for representation of place and producer. I’d rather pay a little more for a wine that represents a producer/place than a little less for a wine that is technically just as good but from nowhere and from no one.
I’m interested in what makes a wine what it is. I’m interested in what makes a cuisine what it is or what makes a cheese what it is.
I hope you will enjoy what’s coming here in the New Year.
Best,
Eric LECOURS
