My first post.  I feel like it should be something witty or sexy or shocking; something that grabs your attention.  Why should you spend your valuable time reading what I have to say?  My answer is:  I love what I do (which is selling wine for a living), I love talking about what I do, and I really love helping others navigate the big wide world of wine!  Wine is a special gift, best shared with friends.  There is no pretension in the wine world – not the one that I choose to live in anyway!  There are no rules, no ratings (that matter), and no mistakes.  This site is open to anyone who wants to learn a little more about wine – whether you are just taking your first sip, or consider yourself an expert.  Join me and my wine friends as we explore new wines, new places and everything related to unique, hand-crafted, artisan wineries, and family owned wineries.
