Introducing my blog

Few months ago, I was simply someone who was just sipping and enjoying some good wine.

Nevertheless, on my trip to discover some of the top blogs out there, I soon found out that wine blogging are just too much and sometimes not interesting on the Internet with numerous posts that have not been updated for years. Others are blogs owned by large companies; we can even call it, wine blogging as a marketing tool.

However, my blog is a great place for people who are new to wine tasting, who are wine lovers, even curious about it, or for a younger crowd merely. The world of wine is boundless and mystical as we can see and can make you guys’ travel all over the world. Exploring it is first of all a wonderful experience, but the time you take to search your next favorite wine can be quite difficult, time consuming and believe me, very expensive. But through my blog, there will be posts about where to find your wine especially for the Mauritian people.

Everyone is trying to review and describing their bottle they drink last night. BUT!!! I am not here to criticize wine expert as I myself is not one except a great wine lover/amateur. However, facing facts, people don’t read wine reviews for entertainment. Of course these are important source of information. Try to read a whole blog about wine reviews, I personally cannot.


What’s interesting about my blog posts is that through various pictures, I want to share the experience of how to taste wine without being a connoisseur. I want my audience to get through the simplest steps to tasting wine. Like for example, tilt the glass, stick your noise in, swirl and smell again and time to taste. Yet, building all these steps in a joyful way, without forgetting that this is their personal trip.

I want my audience not only to see my blog as an embellishment of linguistic of wine assessment even if it could be by time, but a blog where they are able to create themselves their intimate space, whether it is virtual or real, and finally experiencing that ritual thing.


Unfortunately here in Mauritius people are very limited when talking about wine. By this way in my blog I will focus on the idea that to some might think that to read a wine blog, one should be rich to be able to enjoy it, like eating luxury food. Thus in my blog I will be able to wash away this idea of discrimination of wine drinking.

  1. Hi Laura! You're right, many blogs end up not being updated after some time and this is extremely annoying.

    I think your approach to the topic is very interesting, Providing a space for "people who are new to wine tasting, who are wine lovers, even curious about it, or for a younger crowd merely" is an excellent way to attract people to your blog.

    I look forward to reading your future post as I myself am not an expert when it comes to wine but i do love the taste of it :)
