My Wine Map

At some point in the past, I was regularly tasting wines from across the world. Vivino was where I tracked everything. On top of this, I manually curated the lat/long values of each of the producing wineries. It is a collection of a little over a hundred unique wines. Hopefully, I can continue building this repository in the future.

The code and data is available at activatedgeek/maps.

The Indian Wine Scene🔗

After having been an enthusiast and a so-called oenophile for a while, I’ve realized I don’t know much about the Indian wine ecosystem. I’m collecting some stories here.

• Sonal Holland, India’s only Master of Wine (…so far)

• Namratha Prashanth’s inspiring story to her Bordeaux brand, Solicantus.
