Nice interview, Joe! I wasn’t aware of your secondary twitter account just for reviews. I’m now following you on there.
I hadn’t considered Twitter as a place for popping out quick wine reviews, but I like the notion of keeping it short. I’m exploring options outside of Corkd for wine reviews and thinking of trying CellarTracker- do you write your quick wine reviews only on Twitter or do you use some other service for your wine reviews?
Thanks, Bob!
I only use the twitter account (and my own notebook of tasting notes) to capture wine reviews. I’ve tred Cork’d and CellarTracker, and certainly think they’re useful and well done, but they’re just no for me (or, I’m not for them). Cheers!
Joe, it was a great interview. Twitter + Wine Reviews = Awesome.
Thanks for mentioning Alan Kropf’s interview as well.
