Symposia Wine

IN ANCIENT GREECE, THE SYMPOSIA… ...was the gathering of those whom would sit, drink wine and philosophise, but mostly drink wine. Wine at the time was typically diluted with water and the Symposia was led by the Symposiarch, a part sommelier, part conductor type who would control the strength of wine, somewhat by the intensity of the conversation (or vice-versa). One could say this ethos hasn't changed much in the centuries since. The Symposia you have discovered here follows the same vein, wine and the philosophy of it. As part of my wine education I have been keeping my own tasting notes on which ever wines take my fancy. Whilst there is no shortage of wine writers, reviews, tasting notes and the like available, I thought sharing my journey could not only help others undertaking a similar adventure to my own but also new comers to the world of wine appreciation. Even the professionals might get a laugh or two. As a hint, I would suggest you start with the “About Me”, “Note about Notes” and “Story about Stories” sections so you know what you’re getting yourself into and if you’re still interested, feel free to browse around.
