The Doc is (back) in

DoctorWine is an anomalous site: I put my name to it, but I would like it to have lots of authors. I’d certainly like there to be some really keen tasters of wine, to the extent that as a bit of a joke (but only a bit) I have decided that only those who have sampled at least 100,000 wines in their lives will be invited to give their ratings and judgments. I know a few and I myself am one of them. We are sort of “Highlanders” of wine: we know who the others are, but we don’t go around killing each other off like those “real” semi-immortal Scots do. My idea is to claim - in a world in which, alongside some perfectly serious and knowledgeable bloggers, there are a whole host of makeshift impostors – a role and a value for competence. I will therefore have people alongside me of great talent, whom I will introduce to you as each of them appears, showing the cards in my hand one by one and trying to surprise our readers. Doctorwine will have free access on the web and will therefore gather advertising to survive: advertising that is explicit and from outside the world of wine, which will be the site’s main focus.

So let’s get this party started…
