I just want to apologize to anyone who was thinking i stopped my Blog. I haven't forgotten about you!
I'm testing towards my Advanced Sommeliers Certification in October, so I've been tasting wines in a different format. We taste 6 wines blind and verbally evaluate them one by one in 24 total minutes. Three wines are Classic Whites and three are Classic Reds. We taste to decipher varietal character, not quality.
So, to conclude, I will continue to record my evaluations, but just not as often and detailed as in the past. After my testing, I will be back on track with detailed reports and tasting/pairing notes.
Wish me luck!
Sincerely,
Eric C. Maczko
Thank you for exploring my wine list with me. Below you'll find only wines I recommend very highly. I don't use scores, but I do catagorize wines as styles: (Agers, Food Wines, Stand Alones, Celebratory Wines, Showpieces, Classics, Moderns). I also offer food pairings as well as glimpses into what I've enjoyed with what. I hope this helps in some small way to increase your enjoyment of wine and food.
About Me
- Eric C. Maczko
- I've been part of Pine Ridge Winery's Culinary Staff for 7 years. In 2003 I took over the Executive Chef Position and have been pairing food and wine together in a creative environment every day since. I am a Certified Sommelier through The Court of Master Sommeliers and hope to gain my Advanced in the coming year. My love of wine, food and literature are the fuel behind this little site and sharing my experience is my gift. Each year I take a little time to craft my own wine, so as to humble myself. It is a pleasure to sample the hard work and dedication of these so many talented wine professionals.
