About Me

So who am I:

I’m a busy guy, not quite at mid-life crisis age.  Married to my best friend, two kids under the age of 7 who run me around on a daily basis.  The usual “illness” that everyone seems to suffer from - too much to do, not enough time in the day.

I hold 2 positions of “power” (in my house), I am the:

CCO – chief cooking officer:  While I like to use ”CCO”, others simply call me the “Poor Man’s Chef”.  If there is only an onion and a piece of bologna in the refrigerator, I can make a gourmet meal of it.

CCCO – chief child chasing officer: I think I might have only gotten this title due to the fact that my children have me whipped and Mommy don’t play that.  I respond to anything that begins with “Daddy, come here…” or “Dad, can you get me…”

So why is a guy with no real formal wine background or affiliation with the wine industry (not to mention zero time) writing a blog like this?  Well, here’s why:

1) I love finding wines that are great deals and I like letting others in on the secret.

2) I’m tired of wine reviews that talk above a “normal” person’s head…using words like “balanced”, “delicate”, “subtle”.  I like to think of myself as an ordinary guy, I’ll talk to you in layman’s terms.

3) I believe, in general, there is too much mystique about wine and I think that portrays wine as an intimidating subject.  For me it just boils down to taste – do you like how it tastes or not?
