1) What gets you most excited about wine?

I love a few things about wine. It is a true part of celebrations, religious holidays, sadness, laughter, romance and just every day life.

I love being apart of the wine business community because of the people I get to meet and the places I get to go to. 

Wine helps me understand so much of our world: history, agriculture, food, geology, and geography. 

2) Do you consider yourself an Enthusiast? Connoisseur? Recreational? Other?

Well for years I would have considered Us between enthusiast and connoisseurs. We collected and savored bottles. Now, I consider us to be professionals with all of the qualifications and schooling we have done.

3) What do you look for when selecting new bottles to try?

I look for a few things: is the producer, region, or grape unknown to me? Is it a grape I particularly love but the producer is unknown to me.. any mix of that list.

4) Are you loving any particular varietals lately?

When asked I always tell people I love Sangiovese. It is a very underrated grape but it’s gaining some traction and more people are producing it.

5) What experience cannot be fully enjoyed without the right bottle of wine?

As I mentioned earlier wine complements just about every part of life.  But my favorite saying is: Good friends, food, wine, and laughter = the fountain of youth.  I truly believe that to be true!
