I am a wine enthusiast with a thousand-plus bottle collection, and belong to two wine tasting groups that meet regularly. I frequently visit wine regions in California and Europe, and partake in the rich San Francisco Bay Area dining scene with its unique wines. Napa was my first taste of the world of fine wines, when I was a neurosurgery resident at UCSF in the late 1980s. I now sample eight hundred to a thousand labels a year, and have been blogging about wine since 2006.
As I explore the ever-expanding wine universe, I make it a point to share my discoveries and express my opinions, primarily through my wine blog, although occasionally some of the characters in my books also chime in. You’ll find all of my wine blogs through this portal. Please don’t hesitate to chime in as well.
