LeDomduVin: Thank you to all of you !!! - LeDomduVin is number 93 on FeedSpot's 100 Best Wine Blogs 2025

 



Thank you to all of you !!! 

LeDomduVin is number 93 on 

FeedSpot's 100 Best Wine Blogs 2025



As I do once a year, I just checked the position of my wine blog among the various listings of the best wine blogs on the internet, and I just realized that I was back in the Top 100 Best Wine Blogs on FeedSpot, ranking at 93, which is fantastic.  

Over the past few years, LeDomduVin.com has attracted a lot of attention, and the number of readers has increased significantly. A few weeks ago, my blog exceeded an impressive 45,000 views per week. And now, I am back in the Top 100 on the FeedSpot list

That's amazing, and it's all because of you, my readers. I cannot thank you enough for your support and the motivation it provides me to continue writing and sharing my passion and knowledge about wine with all of you. So, for that, THANK YOU to YOU ALL !!!  You are truly amazing! 

FeedSpot's 100 Best Wine Blogs are selected from thousands of online blogs and ranked by relevance, authority, social media followers, and freshness. It means the world to me to be included in this list, as I have dedicated my heart and effort to this blog for the past 17 years. 

The ranking of these 100 Best Wine Blogs is updated regularly and therefore fluctuates frequently. That means if I check again in a few weeks, the ranking might have changed to 95 or 75, who knows? 

Yet, today my ranking is 93, and I am really happy about it. Especially since I am just a humble, old sommelier and wine buyer, not a wine personality, critic, winemaker, magazine, importer/distributor, etc., like most of the other people on that list who are well-known and well-regarded figures in the wine world.   

My blog is my hobby because I love wine and enjoy writing about it. I write only when I have free time, occasionally and sporadically. Seeing that it can attract so much interest from all of you makes my blog and its success even more meaningful to me. 

So, again, THANK YOU ALL !!! for your interest in my blog and for taking the time to read my posts, you've made my day! Merci!

And thank you to FeedSpot, too! 

Cheers! Sante!

Dom (aka LeDomduVin aka Dominique Noel)

LeDomduVin: A HUGE THANK YOU for 45,000+ views in the last 7 days






A HUGE THANK YOU 

for 45,000+ views in the last 7 days




Every now and then, I like to thank all my readers because you are the fuel of my inspiration and the motivation to keep writing on this blog and across various social media platforms. You are amazing, and today even better than ever before.  

I became a Wine Blogger when I started this blog 17 years ago, in 2008, with no expectations, simply to share my knowledge and passion for wine with the world. 

Initially, I was content with having only a few dozen views a week. Then, in about 5 years, the number grew to a few hundred, which was already extraordinary for me, as I'm just an unknown Sommelier and Wine Buyer, not a public figure and not even an influencer (as we say nowadays). 

After about 9 years, the number of views continued to grow, reaching a few thousand per week. This was unexpected yet so satisfying. And in November 2017, it reached the stratospheric number of 17,500+ views per week.  I was speechless.   

Last year, this number often exceeded 20,000 views per week. My happiness was indescribable.  

This year, the number of views per week has been oscillating between 20,000 and 35,000, which is both incredible and unbelievable. 

Over the past few weeks, this number has exceeded 40,000 views per week, reaching over 45,000 views...  

This is truly incredible, and I still can't believe it. I can't thank you enough for the attention and dedication you're giving to my blog, and indirectly to me and my writing.  

I have always been very creative since childhood. I loved drawing and creating collages; I also love photography and art in general. I have even been making my own music since 2020 under the alias DOMELGABOR. But the thing I have always been the best at is writing.   

I fell in love with writing early on, first in French and then later in English. I enjoyed inventing and imagining stories, writing them in notebooks. Between the ages of 10 and 18, I wrote about eight books that I never published and have since lost over the years.  

This blog has been (and continues to be) a platform for me to share stories—both true and fictional—about my personal life, my career, wines from around the world, and my experiences as a Sommelier and Wine Buyer over the past 33 years, as well as insights into the world of wine.    

All your views, likes, and comments are sincerely appreciated, and I thank you all for that! You make my day, every day!  

THANK YOU, 45,000 times to all of you! You are truly amazing!

Cheers! Santé! 

Dom

LeDomduVin: 18K VIEWS!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!



18K VIEWS!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!



18k views in the last 7 days on my blog ledomduvin.com
THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!


I created this blog in 2008, 16 years ago already, with no other ambition but to share my tasting notes and wine knowledge, passion, and experiences.


I do not make any money out of it. I just write for the pleasure of writing and sharing. And I have always been independent. No sponsor, no product placement, no gift, no invitation, or anything else. I just write for the pleasure of sharing with whoever might be interested.


Over the years, I have been proudly astounded by the number of views, readers, and comments. These are the reasons that kept me going all these years, and I thank you for them. You are amazing!


The number of views on a weekly basis usually oscillates between a few hundred and a few thousand, which is already great. Yet, occasionally, these past few years, it has exceeded 10 thousand, like today with 18K, which is unbelievable.


You guys are incredible. You've made me very happy! 😁👍🍷


So, a huge THANK YOU to all of you, my followers, and readers.


Have a great day! Take care of yourself and your loved ones.


I raise my glass to all of you! Merci! 😁👍🍷💪👌👏


Cheers! Santé!


Dom

LeDomduVin: Champagne Prematurely Popping (**) (Number 124 on Feedspot Top 100 Wine Blogs)





Champagne Prematurely Popping (**)


by @ledomduvin 2022

Celebrating number 124 this year, on Feedspot "Top 100 Wine Blogs". And that's because of you all my readers and followers, so a HUGE THANK YOU to you all. 

Like every year, around the same period, I just take a quick look at the Top 100 Wine Blogs on @feedspotdotcom. 

And, every year, I'm always very happy to continue to see my blog still listed there. 


To give you a few numbers, I have created this Wine Blog in August 2008 (soon to be 14 years old) and since then, it received 1,265,866 visitors (as of today).  That roughly corresponds to an average of: 

-  90,420 visitors per year
-  7,535 visitors per month
-  250 visitors per day 
-  10.5 visitors per hour

Not bad for an independent Wine Blog, isn't it? 

Very proud of it.  More especially, I had a down period between 2013-2016, (4 years), during which I barely wrote or post anything, as I was busy with my job during the week (even at night) and very active during the weekends too, with the kids during the day and often working at the restaurant or wine events at night, on Fridays and Saturdays (Sommelier life😁👍🍷 ). 





A few years ago, out of the 215 listed wine blogs (*), I was oscillating between 80 and 95 (number 85 in 2020), and last year, I believe I was 118, and this year number 124. 

Which is definitely not that bad, considering both facts that 

- This list (of 215 blogs) includes the best wine blogs on the web (from thousands of wine blogs), ranked by traffic, social media followers, domain authority & freshness. 

- My blog is just an independent blog on which I only post very occasionally, don't spend much time on it, and from which I absolutely get no money and no other advantages whatsoever either. 

That's why I am very happy to still see my wine blog listed, and it encourages me to continue to write and post and create illustrations for it, like this popping Champagne bottle I created for this occasion (**). 

Thank you again to all of you for your support and encouragement, and for keeping this blog alive. And thank you to Feedspot.com too. Much appreciated. 
😁🙏👍👏🍾🥂🍷

Merci beaucoup,

Cheers! Santé! 

Dom

(*) It should be the "Top 200", instead of 100, no? It would make more sense somehow. 😁👍🍷

LeDomduVin: A Huge Thank You to all my readers...


A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL MY READERS....





Recently, I was astonished to reach the milestone of 1,200 page views in just 7 days, which is huge for a small blogger like me. Thank you for this. 

Today, I was just checking something on my blog and was immediately stopped by the number of page views. At first, I refreshed the page to see if it was a mistake. No, it was not. I was speechless. I could not believe the number of page views in the last 7 days: 

17,517 (and climbing...)


WOW!?! Such numbers may appear rather small for the renowned bloggers out there, yet for a small blogger like me who only writes sporadically... THAT'S AMAZING!?!  And the only thing I can say is

 A HUGE THANK YOU to ALL MY READERS... 

You are the inspiration and motivation behind my writings.  

Cheers! Santé!  And thank you again! Stay tuned for more posts in the near future. 

LeDomduVin a.k.a Dominique Noël
