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: Still within the Top 150 of the "Best Wine Blogs" list on Feedspot! THANK YOU for your continuous support!

 




Still within the Top 150 of the "Best Wine Blogs" list on Feedspot! THANK YOU for your continuous support!  



At the start of each year since 2019, I check Feedspot's 100 Best Wine Blogs list to see where my blog ranks. And, thanks to you and your continuous support, I'm still there, at number #107. That is great! And it is because of you, my followers and readers. So, THANK YOU! Much appreciated.  

Some of you may say: Why is it so great? You're not even in the Top 100.  
And I'll say: Yes, you're right, but I'm still on the list and, once again, not so far from the Top 100. This encourages me to work even harder and better to reach that goal. 

You must realize that the "Feedspot's 100 Best Wine Blogs" list includes 1952 Wine Blogs representing the best wine blogs on the web (out of thousands of other Wine Blogs), ranked based on traffic(*), social media followers, and freshness. 

Therefore, being on the list is already greatly satisfying, and achieving the Top 100 would be amazing, yet reaching number #107 is excellent for me.  

"Excellent," as my wine blog is just a hobby. I only write when I have time and when the inspiration comes. I don't impose any quotas on myself or anything else. I have always been independent and always will be, so I can write about anything and everything I want whenever I want. 

Moreover, I have always shared my knowledge and passion for wine (on my blog and social media pages) without a profit motive or interest in brands or producers. I don't get any money or free goods from it. Although it would be nice, I'm not making a dime with it. I'm not an influencer, either. I just love writing and want to do it freely without anyone looking over my shoulder. 

Consequently, being on this list is a great reward. I am humbled and feel privileged about it, as so many wine blogs are better than mine. And yet, here I'm at number #107. Thank you.  

This number constantly oscillates throughout the year, so I look at it only once (or twice) yearly. Usually, every end of January or early February, to be consistent. I have been in the Top 100 several times in the past few years. Therefore, it is doable, and I will work harder to reach it again.  

  • 2019 - Number #92
  • 2020 - Number #85 
  • 2021 - Number #132
  • 2022 - Number #124
  • 2023 - Number #97
  • 2024 - Number #107

Thank you all for making this goal possible and achievable. Your likes, comments, and feedback motivate me to continue writing and sharing my passion and knowledge for wine, as I have been doing on this wine blog for the past 16 years.  

You are the reason why this blog still exists and continues to thrive, and I cannot thank you enough for that. And thank you to Feedspot, too.  

Share the passion, share the knowledge, share the love, share the wine! 

Cheers! Santé! Et Merci! 

Dom

(*) Just to give an idea, in terms of traffic on my blog, here are a few numbers:

LeDomduVin: Thank you!!! LeDomduVin is once again back in the Feedspot Top 100 Wine Blogs at #97

 





THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO YOU ALL 
FOR ALL YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT
MERCI !!!


LeDomduVin is once again back in the Feedspot Top 100 Wine Blogs at #97

And, it is because of you and I thank you very much for it, I'm very grateful and humbled at the same time. 🙏🙏🙏

Every end of January, I usually take a look at Feedspot's Top 100 Wine Blogs to see what is my rank among some of the best wine blogs on the planet, and, for example, back in 2020, I was ranked #85, (it was great, thank you for that too), #118 in 2021 (it should be the "Top 200" instead, as they have about 200+ wine blogs listed 😊) and #124 last year (2022).

Yet, this year, I'm back in the Top 100 at #97, that's amazing! And, I thank you again for it.

It may not mean much to you, but it means a lot to me as I have been dedicating a lot of time to it, since I started this blog, back in 2008 (15 years already).

Being back in the Top 100 motivates me to continue creating, writing, and posting more articles, photos, images, drawings, collages, visuals, and videos on my blog.

And, above all, I will gladly continue to share my passion and knowledge with you all (as well as my passion for writing, drawing, creating visuals, and taking pictures) via this blog.

Thank you for your help and support and kind words over the last 15 years, and thank you for putting LeDomduVin back in the Top 100 Wine Blogs. Much Appreciated.

Cheers! Santé!

Dom aka LeDomduVin (aka Dominique Noel)

THANK YOU ALL (once again)

THANK YOU ALL 
by ©LeDomduVin 2021


THANK YOU ALL 



THANK YOU all for your continuous support! Much appreciated 🙏👍🍷😁

I'm very happy to still see my blog on the list of Feedspot Top 100 Wine Blogs (*), nestled amongst some of the most influential and informative wine blogs in the world. What an honor! 

Not that I do anything to deserve it, as I don't write much and don't really advertise it either, (as I only do that as a hobby and only post on my blog when I have time), yet, it pleases me to see that I am still there at number 132. That's great!👌👍 🤘🍷😁

And this thanks to all of you, so THANK YOU. I raise my glass to you all. 

Cheers! Santé! 

Dom

(*) In fact, it should be Top 300, as their list contains 292 Blogs.

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
