Sorting through the maze of spirits, wines and brews can be a daunting task when you're trying to find something that fits the occasion as well as your budget.

That's where I can come in handy.

Periodically, I conduct taste tests of various beverages, sometimes by myself and sometimes with a small tasting panel of people with discriminating palates -- discriminating but, I hasten to add, far from being stuffy or too "insider-ish."

You can access the entire archive by going to the Dowd's Tasting Notes site. But, I know you're busy so I have an instant notification system in place.

If you'd like to be added to the notification list -- no strings attached -- just e-mail me and let me know. Your e-mail address will not be passed on or sold to anyone else. Guaranteed.

Among some of the recent products sampled for Dowd's Tasting Notes:

• Bluecoat American Dry Gin

• Pol Roger Champagne

• Monkey Shoulder Scotch

• Hugel & Fils Pinot Gris

• Quadrio Valtellina Superiore

• Gran Gala Triple Orange

• Penn 1681 Vodka

• Bols Genever

• Jose Cuervo tequila trio

You get the idea. Variety, and lots of it. So join in today.
