We seldom spend time looking at the statistics of our various websites and blogs. But a recent post on the Ridge Winery blog got us to thinking (always a very dangerous thing).
Since the first of the year, this blog has been reached directly; by referrals; and via 228 different search terms. Most of those searches are, naturally, related to a specific wine or a recipe. But a few stood out as a little off-beat.
In many of these cases, we have no idea what on this site it was that the search engine picked up on. Nonetheless, here is a short list of “unusual” search terms that drove visitors to our site. (These are the exact search terms as listed from Google Analytics.)
- b&g wine cookbooks
- free recipes from the three chimney's cookbook
- hough purry
- +"cellier des chartreux" +"chevalier d'anthelme"
- a meal without wine is no meal at all
- b and g bistro pinot noir 2005 kansas city
- beringer white merlot vegan
- face book errazuriz
- garbanzo restaurant applications
- mr. mirassou hot wine recipes
- pahlmeyer safeway
- quote would rather have the steak than the sizzle
- the world's greatest wine estates - a modern perspective pahlmeyer
- how much is a bottle of 1992 beringer white-zinfandel
A few comments:
We have no idea what a “hough purry” is, nor what “errazuriz” has to do with Facebook (or “face book”).
We are curious about the “vegan white merlot,” as we are about how a 1992 white zin would age.
We never realized there was a “mister Mirassou,” much less that he offered “hot wine recipes.”
