http://www.thewinedoctor.com Thank you for viewing my feed and hopefully visiting my site. I have been writing about wine online since 2000, the pre-blog era! Today I specialise in Bordeaux and the Loire, but I will always maintain a very broad outlook, occasionally touching on wines from other regions of France, especially Champagne, but also Germany, the classic regions of Italy and Spain, and also the vinous nations of the New World including Australia, USA, Chile and New Zealand. I hope you find the site useful, informative and maybe even entertaining! Best regards - Chris Kissack This file is an RSS 2.0 file.
