1. Two weeks spent in Bordeaux during the second half of April 2023 to taste the 2022 vintage from the barrel. A review of over 360 tasted barrel samples was published in May 2023 in "VINTAGES."
2. A review of 300+ tasted barrel samples in April 2022 is available: "2021 BORDEAUX FROM BARREL" in "VINTAGES."
3.I've added a Burgundy & Beaujolais chapter to the menu bar. It includes impressions from Burgundy tastings and dinners I did attend and impressions of tasted wines from Beaujolais' best winegrowers. My wine horizons widened considerably when I tasted Morgon Cote du Puy in April 2022 from five producers in vintages 2018 and 2019, and then other wines from the same producers in mostly 2019 vintages were tasted in June 2022. 16 Beaujolais Crus, mostly in vintage 2020, were tasted in August 2023. All Beaujolais TNs—check the Burgundy & Beaujolais chapter.
4. I also often post tasting notes to an excellent website by Pekka Nuikki from Finland. It's www.tastingbook.com, where I have 12.100+ followers and 3.090+ tasting notes published as of December 2023. Tastingbook.com users have voted me as nr. 24 in the 2023 "The Best Wine Critic in the World" competition. I am in the group of 38 finalists in the 2024 BWW Wine Critics Competition.
