Online Wine No Longer Bottled Up

While I'm definitely no wine connoisseur, I do enjoy a glass of pinot noir or merlot every now and then. And I won't lie, one of the perks of working here at Axiom is the wine tasting parties we host each month.

My passion for wine was sparked a mere two years ago when I went to a tasting at a vineyard in Tennessee. I was hooked from there. And nowadays, that love has been crossing paths with my other (not so secret) passion for years: social media.

There's everything from podcast wine tasting courses to online wine dictionaries. Today, I ran across a story about a website that lets you search for or post wine tasting events. It also allows you to then rate the wines that you tasted.

I think it's a nice idea, because there's a lot of opportunity to be creative with wine tastings and it's great to see more and more sites taking advantage of it.
