I began taking an interest in wine in college, thanks to some wino-friends who refused to drink "bad wine." My parents moved to the Finger Lake Wine region in NY State, and this led to many wine tours throughout the past several years - I have become a pretty good guide to the area and have introduced many friends to numerous NY wineries. I am a member of the American Wine Society, and was active with the Syracuse NY Chapter until moving to OH in June 2011.
I love its complexities and variations, but most importantly, I love that it is something that can be shared with so many people.
