WELCOME

Musings on the Vine was conceived with a few very simple goals. One, to share my passion and excitement of wine with anyone who cares to listen, and by doing so engender similar excitement in others. Two, to strip away the mysteries surrounding the appreciation of wine, making wine tasting, buying and collecting fun and unassuming. And three, to provide a resource for those people who don't necessarily want to become a Master Sommelier, but instead just want to be able to buy something decent to drink with dinner tonight.

I hope viewing this site gives my guests as much pleasure and enjoyment as it has given me creating it.

Cheers!
