Hi, I’m John, and I’m an enthusiastic student of wine and other celebratory beverages. I started out as a home cook and all-around foodie. Through fine dining experiences and exposure to excellent food-wine pairings, I became curious about wine and how to select the best wine for given menu or occasion. And down the rabbit hole we go…
About a year ago, I started working part-time in my favorite wine shop, and I recently passed my exam for the WSET Level 3 Award in Wines. Now, to supplement my learning and share it with those who share my curiosity, I’ve started this blog to document my journey.
If you are curious about wine, spirits, beer, sake, etc., and how to select a beverage for maximum enjoyment of your menu or occasion, I hope you find something useful here, and I hope this learning is as fun for you as it is for me.
Cheers,
John
PS…In addition to the articles and other posts on this site, I’ve included a handy list of resources – favorite books, products, and more – on the Resources page. This is all stuff I’ve tried and found worthy to pass along to you, if you’re interested.
