I am not a wine connoisseur. I cannot express to you the palatal differences that differentiate the black currants of a distinguished Cab Sauv from the wild berries of an untamed Syrah. I cannot tell you what clean and bright have to do with acidity, and I only know that "buttery" adds another sixty dollars to the price of a Chardonnay.

I can tell you this: I love wine.

I love exploring the many different kinds of wine. I love learning about wine. I love sipping wine late at night as I write stories, articles or even just read about the world I live in. Learning about wine and experiencing its great variety of manifestations is a casual passion of mine, a journey if you will. I am a novice on this journey, certainly no guide. This blog is a way for me to archive the odd bit of information I pick up along the way. I am happy to make it available for you to read and comment on; I sincerely hope to learn something from you as much as I hope you are able pick up an interesting tidbit or two from me.

Enjoy!
