Wine to movies


  • Fact: writing reviews of wine I have drunk requires me to drink wine


  • Fact: buying wine costs money


  • Fact: my liquor budget is sadly diminished 

(Corollary: these days I spend said budget on either vodka or cider)

  • Result: no more wine reviews for now


I hope to get back to writing them eventually, but for now the only alcohol reviews may be the occasional one for hard cider as I pursue my eternal quest to find one that isn't sickeningly sweet. Instead I will be focusing primarily on my film reviews, interspersed occasionally with fandom character analyses. Netflix and Tumblr promise to fuel me with a nearly unending source of both.

I'll drink to that.

Wine blogging in general

I have started reading some other wine blogs - not professional ones, I'm frankly not as interested in those - and am quite humbled by the level of expertise and quality of content out there.

To be very clear to the Potential Reader: I post my wine reviews not in any authoritative way, or to set myself up as someone at all knowledgeable.* Rather, it more traces the slow journey of someone first learning about wine.

Adult Content?

When creating this blog, one of the settings is whether my blog contains adult content. The options are, predictably, "Yes" and "No."

I feel like there should be a third option: "Maybe?"

I've barely written anything yet. How should I know what I'm going to say in the future, let alone what exactly constitutes adult content? Does swearing sometimes (which I have done and will cheerfully continue to do) count? Does saying "Tintin is totally asexual" count? Does discussing R-rated movies or liquor, both of which are supposedly adult, count? I assume not. But still.

So:

WARNING: This blog does not yet contain adult content (except for aforementioned cussing). It may in the future. It will very likely link to adult content in the future. If there gets to be a lot of it I may change the setting, but right now I think it's a bit pointless. Make your own, adult, choice.

Memory, Muses, Musings

This will be an eclectic blog, discussing wines, movies, fandoms, and other things that spark my curiosity. There will be occasional NSFW content, frequent geekiness, and no consistent throughline. My muses are many and varied. I'm writing this for myself more than anything, but you, whoever you are, are welcome to wander along.
