Time really flies … and it’s now exactly two years since I launched Winehog.org in Juliy 2011. During these 24 month I realized that blogging about fine wine is quite challenging at times – but fortunately also very rewarding and a lot of fun.
I have tasted a lot of great wines during the first two years, and sometimes it has been hard to find the time to publish all the notes.
Anyhow the numbers speak for themselves – 871 posts, more than 54.000 visits and 132.000 pageviews since I decided to go public with my tasting notes and articles – and the traffic is increasing month by month.
The best moments
The past two years have given me a lot of fine wine moments, and it’s impossible to rank these.
The visits to the very helpfull and fine produceres in Burgundy are however the very foundation for this blog. I have been lucky to visit some of the very finest producers during the last two years – thanks for the hospitality.

Thanks to Wine friends for all the support
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all wine friends for the support and help during the first two years.
Special thanks to those who helped me gather current and historic information to the articles about the Grand Cru vineyards – Louis-Michel Liger-Belair, Jean-Luc Pepin, Anne Gros, Bernard Gros, Caroline Gros, Remi Poisot, Jeremy Seysses, Jean-Francois Bazin and Jean-Charles Cuvelier – without this help I couldn’t have made the articles about Romanee-Saint Vivant and Richebourg.
I also would like to thank the Facebook groups Burgundy Geeks, Vosne Romanee and Bourgogne/Burgundy for the support and discussions during the last 24 month – a lot of new wine friends – cheers to all of you – from all of me!
