Welcome to SWIG Tastes, blog of the the Seattle Wine Investigation Group (SWIG) .
SWIG conducts periodic blind (wine bagged and numbered) tastings of similar wines -- same varietal, same region, and/or same label -- and posts impressions and results here.
SWIG is:
1) not a group of wine experts. We are simply aesthetically-aware individuals enthusiastic about wine and food.
2) not public. Our tastings are private by invite only. But we are happy to sponsor comments and encourage subscribers.
3) not a contest among members. Each meeting we'll thoughtfully compare and score a set of wines, and might or might not recommend a "wine of the night." SWIG values the opportunity to taste a range of wines and styles, so all contributions are valued.
4) not a one man show. All members have access to the blog, which is effectively a wiki.
5) not any particular wine's, vintner's, varietal's or region's simpering obsequious lackey. We are not Philip Seymour Hofman playing assistant to the Big Lebowski, we are the Dude, or maybe Walter, or Bunny.
