Wine School

by PapaScott on 16 January 2007

The magazine Stern is publishing a 24-week long wine course, offering a package of 24 wines by post from Rindchen with an article in the print magazine and an online forum. According to The Drink Tank (hosted by my employer at blogg.de) over 6000 packages have been shipped, including one to yours truly. I’m a little late to the game. I just opened wine number one and this is already week 3. I have a feeling this is not the kind of class where you want to catch up on your studies all at once (especially since MamaMaus is a beer drinker, therefore I have to study alone). As for the week one Bordeaux, the 2005 Camarsac is nice for under 10 Euros, but I don’t smell the berries, and certainly not the cougar cage.

Nice marketing gag… we usually don’t read Stern but now we (or least I) will be reading every week until mid-June for sure.

So the Stern did what they wanted to do:) I really like wine, but never i smell or even taste what is written on the bottle. I am just to ceptic to imagine there is the tast/smell of the pazific or the mud in australia.

Hey is it alowed on your blog to comment in german too? Understanding your articles is one think, to write some quality answer is different thing.

Schön, das macht es um einiges einfacher. Ich mag wie du schreibst, schreibe aber selbst in englischer Sprache so schlecht. Aber wenn ich Blogs mag, kommentiere ich eben gerne auch mal.
