I have been visiting wineries and tasting wines for over 30 years. I have toured over 300 wineries in France, Spain, and the United States. I have also had extended discussions with many of the winemakers about their wines in my tasting trips.

In addition, I have read extensively about wine and the various wine regions and have also completed wine education courses designed for people employed in the wine trade. I am Certified in Wines by the Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET).

Of course, I have my own wine preferences, but my own experience has taught me that there is always more to learn about wine.
