I am no expert, but according the definition, I am an aficionado, which is a person who is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about an activity, subject, or pastime. Can you say ABSOLUTELY! Wino in residence!
My mother-in-law roped in her son, who in turned dragged me in. We all blame LINDA, lovingly of course. But in I am all in, so here I go. I am a struggling teacher, a hopeful stay at home mom, so my wine choices may be on the less expensive side, but frugal wine buys are the best wine buys. I am sure a $100 bottle of wine is better than a $10 bottle, but if I can't afford to drink it, who CARES!!!!!?!??!?
I want to blog about the wine most of us can actually afford. My tastes run the gamut of flavors. I love a bold red with a great meaty lasagna or steak and a frilly sweet wine next to the pool in the summer. I love wine and plan to tell you what wines taste like and steer you toward wines you might enjoy. Sometimes the information on the bottle or a neat label just aren't enough information.
My plan is to buy and drink a different bottle every few days, don't want to overindulge with a teaching career! and give you vintners and wines to get you started on your own wine adventure. I hope to increase my wine tasting vocabulary as I go, but bear with me if I don't have all the descriptors to go with my wines. I will work on growing in knowledge if only to be able to drink more effectively!!
CHEERS!
