To garner attention, duh.

You said it. I wanna be that douchie, super ''cool'' guy.

The old school Pavies pre-Gerard Perse are awesome. Is that 1975? Haven't that one, but many others surrounding it.

Yes it is. One of my favorite wine. It's a must to try it out, you won't be disappointed :)

So what's the answer then?

Here is your answer.

That is the answer to "How were the wines?" The question was: What's the point of posting pictures of bottles without any comment about the wine?

Popped an O Leflaive bourg blanc. My go to cheap burg. Awesome.

what is the point of posting pictures at all?

bought six bottles of finca sandoval from Cinderella for $16.50, one of my favorite producers, used to exchange bon mots online with the winemaker when he was a wine writer. Beautiful clarity and depth of dark fruit, cherries picking up notes of smoke and saddle leather from the syrah. Would guess this will cellar for 10 years.

if this goes on sale again, you won't do better for $16.50

So you associate it better with the wine? Reading something is fine, but having the label with it is far superior.

Social media = Sharing.
Visuals = More Memorable... More Impact.

Sharing+Visuals =

I think it's is a nice touch and I find it helpful to see the labels. I don't understand why people post pics of food they've cooked without labels in the WDYELNFD thread either.

i stand corrected, we used to run a website for a big retailer and we argued about labels on the site. Looks like he was correct...though I still need to be convinced the time to photograph, edit, crop and upload the photos would have paid for itself.

here's a business idea for someone, work with every distributor and/or winery to create a repository of high quality label images. Charge...I dunno, $1/label per store. if it works out for you, send me a case of first growths. (which was what I charged to construct the retailer website).

We do that to piss off rambo
