Former wine industry person who’s worked (however briefly) in the vinyeard, cellar, bottling line, disgorging bubby, tasting room, events, retail, sales and more. Currently writes about food and wine for, well, Food & Wine, TRINK Magazine, the Chicago Tribune, and more.

I like wines that pique my interest and taste delicious. I don’t chase labels or status except when it warrants it. I’m just getting started with collecting and aging wine, and by wine I mean Riesling.

My cellartracker tasting notes might not be helpful to anyone.

Anticipated maturity: never.

I don’t rate wine with numbers unless I must.
