Hello, and welcome to my new venture into wine blogging. Although my experience and references don't speak to a great knowledge of wine, from reading a lot wine bloggers say I don't really need it. I have been drinking wine from all over the world for better than 15 years now. Starting at the ripe young age of 18 with an immersion into Italian wines while living in Italy to my now complete infatuation with VA Red wines that started three years ago, I have had wide variety of wine go down my throat.
I think for readers it is best to describe what I like in wine, that way you'll know if you and I are similar or different in our likes of wine. First and foremost, I prefer big red wines. Ones with a little fruit, good complexity and just enough tannins to let me know they are there.
For pale reds (known as by many as roses) I'm definitely of the dry rose family of wine lovers. I want good red fruit smells like strawberry followed by a complex blend of mineral and fruit before finishing crisp and cleans. My guilty please for rose is white merlot, the sweeter the better. Don't ask me why, I can't explain it myself.
For whites, my taste vary. The only thing I can say for sure is that if you like California chardonnay, keep stepping you won't like my reviews of wine. Aside from that, hope you enjoy my reviews. I have recently took a trip to FLX wine region so I'll probably start there, but with more than four cases of wine at my house now, well I probably won't be there solely.
