About Me
Hi, I'm Jim. I'm not a wine professional or critic. But I am a geek who loves wine. For me, half the fun of wine is learning about the grapes, the vineyards, the winemaking, the history behind the bottle. I'm drawn to old vines, indigenous grapes, single vineyard bottlings, field blends and anything else that makes a wine distinctive. On this blog I share my thoughts and tasting notes on the wines I drink and what I learn about them along the way.

A chocolate/blackberry Sauv Blanc? That pairs well with headless ghosts with yellow nipples (my favorite haut cuisine, btw)? Sign me up!!
Odd, eh? Surely everyone would recognize this as a misprint, but I hope somewhere this scene went down: “Betty, are you tasting any chocolate in this wine? All I’m getting is a bunch of grass and cat piss.”
I’m giggling over “REPLUBLIC” myself
Nice catch. Maybe the editor was drinking on the job!
An SB? Really? Republic tasters are definitely in a league of their own.
