In the beginning, this address was supposed to deliver "wine speak" in English. As so often happens, everyone thought it was a great idea, and then tried to figure out how to get it out there. We bought software, registered swirlthis.com (it's probably still under construction), & had tastings. We aged & tasted, but never really put our opinions out there. The Parker board is paramount & the myspace crowd is probably looking for something other than wine recs. "SWIRLTHIS" was always intended as a non-winespeak review, reviewed by people ITB, for anyone that couldn't wrap their arms around reviews that included words like ethereal, profound, and anything else you might find in a review of poetry.
The original group consited of Bob, J9, & myself. All of us are still ITB, sniffing, swirling, tasting, & selling. We enjoy this part of our jobs. It's what makes it a 3 letter word instead of a 4 letter word. Look (or scroll) @ this like you would @ a movie review. The technical stuff will be the header & the rec. will be @ the end. In between will be a snapshot of whatever whizzes through my cranium when I taste this stuff (currently Bob & J9 are pursuing more fruitful endeavors like going to Grad school & starting a family). Absolutely no scores here.
