For years I wouldn't drink wine because it made me sleepy. Then it occurred to me, so what? This practical attitude is one of the advantages of getting older. It also doesn't hurt that I came to this conclusion at a time in my life when I could afford to enjoy some of the finer aspects of good wine. I mean, if I had started this venture when I was 30, gallons of Boone's Farm could have killed it forever.

So, here is my Wine section. It is my intention to create a personal compendium of wines and wine experiences for me to reference when I can't seem to remember the name of that really good wine. It will also allow me to share my experiences with you. If I can help other wine enthusiasts find a new enjoyable wine, I can rest peacefully knowing I have contributed to society and not wasted my life in meaningless hedonism.
