I am a little vacationer but more romantic thanks to influences from someone in my life. However, I am and I probably always will be...a 24 hour party person. Long live the Parties! Viva la Vida Loca! So I went through this all and I came to the conclusion I am not the ego or the investor. I am a little vacationer but more romantic thanks to influences from someone in my life.

Like Karl, I catch myself in the professor and romantic mode as well, but I have the teeth of the blogger. I look forward to reading more. Hi Donna,

I also enjoyed the article, and I enjoyed checking out the site Ken has put together. Like Karl, I catch myself in the professor and romantic mode as well, but I have the teeth of the blogger.

I look forward to reading more.

That's an awesome descriptor! How many times has that happened to us. I've always called it an "enviornment pairing". Where you're having a really great time and the wine you had becomes imprinted into your memory and it's never tasted as good ever since. One of these days I need to tell the story of my blowout and opening a bottle of Chateau Montelena with a tire iron while waiting for AAA. That wine has never tasted as good as it did that night. Thanks so much for "vacationer terroir". Right on the nose! Sheila and Peter,

It was definitely missing in my life. Very happy you enjoyed it. This article is nearly the evolution of my journey with this delicious product of the earth. I did start out as the Investor, went through my magnum phase, then the wine manners, right now I'm sort of in the Vacationer phase and committing a lot of heresy with big over oaked, 100% malo Chardonnay. Which two years ago the Professor in me would have declared an abomination. Hi Karl,

My husband, Peter, says, "You have to read this wine blog." Well, we have both known all types described. We are not in any particular one, but share parts of several. We did want to make a comment on the "Vacationeer". Another aspect is buying wine on vacation , when you have been tasting wine at 2 or 3 places, decide to have lunch on the beautifully landscaped terrace, buying the absolutely marvelous, life transforming wine to take home,-then expect the wine to taste the same on a wintry, cold, gray, blustery day in Cleveland. After a few failed attempts we came up with the term, "Vacation Terrior". We have shared this concept with a few wine makers {see above description} and they have asked for rights to use it. We would like to give that right as well. Cheers, Sheila and Peter Badal Greetings Donna, I’m just home from working at a restaurant in Cleveland, Ohio.

Great post, though it makes me wonder what type bloggers really are. Are we indeed Bloggers, or just a mix of everything like you wrote. Or, are we none of the above? Aren't we the type of wine drinkers that don't want to belong to any of these well discerned categories, aren't we just non-categorized (and probably also non-categorial) drinkers/thinkers. Isn't our fear to be tagged and the way we deal with it by writing about it something that sets us apart? From the other types that is, but also from some other bloggers? I know enough bloggers that more rightfully belong to one of those well discerned categories than to this blogger type ... .
