I love to teach customers and friends about wine. It is my goal to teach in terms that are understandable and not pretentious in any way. I am a t-shirt and jeans type of guy and this world of wine can be very intimidating to normal folks. That's why I feel that people just stick to things that they are familiar, or with what their parents drank. I am always here to guide customers in the direction of their palate. The wine world is huge and should be explored past the Mogen Davids or White Zins of the world. I have done this for a long time and have a great record of matching people to a certain wines. It is a progression from sweeter to dryer in baby steps. If you would like to learn about wine in normal everyday terms we have a wine tasting every month at a different location and we sit around and talk about everything including which wines we love and some we don't. If you would like to join us feel free to drop me a line. You can follow me on Twitter at tmaxxx90, or facebook at Tim Miles.
Until next time, Drink more wine.

There really is a difference in wine values.
There really is a difference.
I see people all the time claim that they can't tell the difference between $4 wine and a more expensive option. I say that is bunk.
The majority of wine sold in our area is mass produced bulk juice from California. The wine that is made from such inferior juice tends to be fruit forward and shallow with very little finish. I refer to this as party wine, but if you drink any amount, the party will be over in the morning.
Take a proprietary grown grape and observe the way it is treated. From the time it is hand picked and selected (to keep it from bruising), then gently pressed to harvest the best free-run juice. The quality is really worth the few extra dollars that these wines cost.
The difference is in the smell, feel and taste. A great quality bottle will smell of several different things from the moment it hits the glass the fruit will explode. It will be silky in the mouth with layers of fruit, and have a firm finish.
So, the next time you are at the wine shop ask the wine professional to point you toward a great quality proprietary grown wine, so you can tell the difference for yourself. You won't be dissapointed.
Until next time. Drink more wine.
