Lonely Grape Blog – 2013 in review

Posted on January 1, 2014 by

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 8,700 times in 2013. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 3 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

Lonely Grape TV # 147 Oenotria Vintners 2011 Cabernet

Posted on November 17, 2013 by

Who said you could not make a good Cabernet in 2011?  This one was so well looked after that the winemaker basically slept with the wine during vintage.

Lonely Grape TV#146 Wistmosa 2011 Shiraz

Posted on November 8, 2013 by

A new name on the McLaren Vale wine scene and based on this effort they will be around for quite a while.  This wine made the cut for the Scarce Earth Project Shiraz and is one of my favorites.
