Why another website?
Well, the timing was right.
With wine festival in full swing and February being the WineDiva.ca's fourth birthday I quietly launched WineScores.ca on February 26th 2008.

Over a bottle of wine, or two...
It all began about eight months ago.
In response to WineDiva's readers requests for tangible numerical "scores" for wines, we tossed around the idea of a second site. Immediately I began secretly scoring wines out of 100 points so that if (and when) we launched a second site I would have a substantial number of wines in my data-base to be considered credible. At that time I didn't even have a site name (forget a launch date or solid plan) so it was all in a Viogner-induced summery haze that the seed was planted.
Obviously the end result is a more serious, (less pink) more article-driven sister to my rather casual alter-egoWineDiva.

Yin and Yang
Wine Diva will remain the fun, tongue-in-cheeky wine review site that you have come to know and love and WineScores will give me the opportunity to write more in-depth (but never boring) pieces about wine, winemakers and my travels.
It will also provide you with my numerical scores out of 100 (and a useful page that explains why scores are used and how I achieve them).
I'll be tweaking the site as I go along but now that I've officially launched WineScores.ca I'd love to hear what you think!

Cheers,
Daenna
