My goal with this page is to keep a log of my thoughts on wine and in doing so educate others so that they may enjoy wine as much as I do. I will seek out good values from all over the world and find new varietals to explore. I seek knowledge from the wine I drink and the conversations that arise from the bottle. If you disagree with one of my posts I value your criticisms and your knowledge, please respond. Here is to drinking good wine and enjoying the life that comes with it. Cheers!

I was born and raised on a farm in the small town of Clarksburg, California. I went to UC Davis where I got a degree in Viticulture and Enology. I then took off on a two year trip around the world where I worked at wineries in South Africa, Spain, and Australia and visited many others in many countries. I got home in Nov '04 and was a substitute teacher while starting my own company called Purple Lips Home Winetastings. I bring 6 wines and glasses and then give an educational winetasting for groups of people in their homes. By the time harvest came in California I was ready for another production experience and helped make beautiful Pinot Noir and Zinfandel for Williams Selyem Winery in Sonoma. After the harvest I moved east to Atlanta where my girlfriend is studying at Emory University. After working as the Beverage Department Head for Cost Plus I took a job in sales for a local wine distributor where I currently work and when I can, continue with Purple Lips.

Nice Job, that was an easy one, I guess with the internet almost every question is easy. I will do something harder next time.
