North West Wine Blog

After finally getting my Dad on the internet to boost his network for wine sales (northwestwineguild.co.uk and winedrinkersnorthwest.co.uk), I'm going to see if he's ready to take the next step: a wine blog!

I've set him up a Wordpress.com blog and popped on some example stuff and I'm impressed with the way it seems to fit what I think the requirements are. A blog is a natural forum for people to leave their comments and opinions on a wide range of products such as wines and I like the reactions tool on Blogger, but the straightforward rating tool on Wordpress is just right for keeping a leader board of his client's favourites. Filtering by grape and wine type is also possible using tags and categories, which would hopefully suit both browsing and specific searching.

So, I'll say it again, if you like a glass of wine and you live in the North West then my Dad's your man :)
