Twenty years ago I began coming to the Napa Valley and discovered the wonders of wine. Twenty years later I now live in the wine country and it’s a very rare day when I don’t have wine with a meal, or at a tasting, or just enjoying a glass for the pleasure.

I may be considered by some as a “snob” of sorts, but I rarely talk about wine in the traditional terms nor do I try to make drinking wine an “event.” I just enjoy wine and the art that goes into making it.

I have taken a couple tasting classes over the years but I am in no way a master anything. What I can say is I have twenty years experience, I know what I like in a wine and when I find what I think is a great wine, for whatever reason, I love to talk about it.
