January was a busy month of tastings, with the Burgundy 2016 en primeur campaign dominating proceedings. In total, I published 785 tasting notes this month - so here's a round-up of those, and everything else:

• On JancisRobinson.com:
  • 482 tasting notes on the 2016 vintage in Burgundy (subscription needed)
  • My Spittoon column considered painkillers, headaches and cleanskins (free to read)
  • 81 tasting notes on mature Rhône wines, as far back as 1979 (subscription needed)
  • 222 tasting notes on the best of British Columbia - where I was also photographed playing the piano at Mission Hill winery, as pictured (subscription needed)
• My Living France column continued a new series on iconic French wines by focusing on Petrus
• My Drinks Retailing News column was a sobering look at the anti-alcohol brigade
• And there were four blog posts, the most popular of which was a comparison of subscription prices for wine writing websites
