An Introduction

Megan read about a guy in Blacksburg who was trying to taste 1000 new beers in a single calendar year.  That seemed like a fairly fun thing to do, but we thought limiting ourselves to just beer would be too difficult (and expensive).  So we instead decided to celebrate our 10th anniversary by trying 1000 new tastes, of any type.

We are going to limit ourselves to tastes between January 1, 2013 and our 11th anniversary (May 17, 2014).  Where are most of our new tastes going to come from?

  • wine and beer tastings at The Vintage Cellar - this is our go to shop for new wines and beers and they offer weekly wine and beer tastings and excellent prices on everything they carry
  • beer and cheese tastings on our anniversary trip to the Northeast, especially including beers, cheeses, and maple syrup
  • new restaurants and foods as we travel north, especially real Phillie cheesesteaks, Boston cream pie, and Maine lobster rolls
We'll keep a running list of our new tastes here - we have quite a backlog of wine tastings to enter.  For foods, we'll report on tastes here. 

For wine, we'll keep a list updated here, but our actual reviews/tasting notes will be on CellarTracker.com.
For beer, we'll keep a list updated here, but our actual reviews/tasting notes will be on RateBeer.com.
