My friends and I enjoy a bottle of wine every now and then. OK, maybe a little more often than now and then. I have always had a fascination with wine. In the beginning going wine tasting was a bit overwhelming. At the time my thoughts about wine involved a little snobbery. I was concerned about going to a winery or restaurant to taste wine. Oh, to order wine at a restaurant; please don't make me do the smell the cork and taste a little wine for approval. Like I knew what I was doing. (embarrassing)

In the late 70's or early 80's a local college provided extra curricular activities or day trips for adults. One of the day trips was to Callaway Winery in Temecula, CA which included the bus, a lesson on wine tasting and a BBQ. I signed up! At that time there were maybe 3 wineries in Temecula, with Callaway the only one with a tasting room. This began my adventure into wine.

A few years later working for a company in Irvine, I met my partner in wine tasting, Janine. By then Temecula had grown to about 7 wineries. In the beginning our pallets only enjoyed sweet wines like Muscat Cannelli, Riesling, etc. Over time our pallets developed and we began to appreciate what red wines have to offer. I've never looked back to sweet.

These days I go wine tasting with many people throughout California. When on vacation or business trips, I try to find local wineries in other states. Which is how this web site came about, helping others to locate their next wine tasting experience at a local winery.

Of course Janine and I still wine taste together, along with her husband Jess. Jess is our designated driver. Jess has a vast knowledge of wine, he prefers tasting wines at home. As we all do!

As you learn more about wine; it's more fun, great socializing and becames more enjoyable and less inhibiting.
