Another [futile] plea for Cellartracker wine handle sanity!

Rather than asking people to change their UserIDs, it would be cool if CellarTracker would let you put ‘nicknames’ in for posters (so you could put real names for posters who you knew) and the nicknames would only be viewable to you.

Keeps the poster secure and not worried about using their real names
You get to know who the reviews are from

I know this was suggested to Eric previously. I can’t remember what his thoughts were on it.

I follow a handful of tasters on CT that I really enjoy reading their notes. EGH, EWS, PJHR…I am embarrassed to say that I don’t know these people, and maybe in the past I found out who they were but I’m 51, and by god I forgot. So, just for knowing the real people behind these, I would dig knowing who they are.

[Steve_Gautier]

Scary how quickly you can connect EWS to a real name on here by looking at tasting notes. PM me if you want your memory refreshed. And thanks for the info as I became a fan of his since it looks like we have a lot of cellar overlap.

Steve, I meant ews3, not EWS. my bad. Still would like to know who ews3 is.

Agree, futile.

That Burgundy Al is great, wonder who that is?

I don’t know but he posts an awful lot of notes.

I guess I can unfollow BestJetsFan now huh.

His notes are a factor in my buying decisions.

Ah, his secret identity just revealed to me in a pm, it’s a guy named Al Czervik.

I don’t think that is correct.

Why would anyone ever follow a Jets fan??? They obviously know nothing about football, why would we think they know more about wine?

I don’t use a real names handle for CellarTracker. I also do not post notes there. I have no problem using a real names handle here. Even though I hide the wines in my cellar generally for the public (although obviously not for friends), I like the additional level of privacy from the world for what I have in my cellar. If I could have a different handle for notes than for my cellar, I would have no issue using a real name posting notes, but since I don’t score wines with points, is there any real reason to post notes there.

To remind you what a wine you drank was like.

Some claim total recall of everything they’ve ever tasted, but I’m not one of them by any stretch of the imagination.

There’s a difference, though, between a private consumption note and a public tasting note on CT. I jot down a few bits of info on what the wine was like, decant time, how it showed, who I shared it with etc. under private notes on almost every bottle I consume. I post public notes when I have something I think is worth sharing.

CT Private Notes are not as easily searched/ sorted/ organized as Public Notes, so my own private notes are less helpful for me when searching for what I drank and enjoyed (or not).

You know,…this really would work better if we could change our wineberserker name to our CT handle.

For years I have felt that I have been fooling people by not having the period after my middle initial.

I enjoy drinking shitty OR PN, but my real love is for my grand kids, hense ‘Grandpa Wino’ in my signature line in both WB and CT.

Fair enough - I’m not sure what I write in the public notes is worth saying, but I share it anyway on the assumption people will treat it as ‘just another data point’.

I look to CT for the notes, not the numerical scores. I would think that at least half of the regular posters here are the same. The scores aren’t very useful at all IMO, just not reliable.

I think the scores are useful if they are closely clustered together . Gives a fair indication about the wine IMO
