About the site
The purpose of this website is to help persons improve their wine appreciation.
The articles include brief personal tasting notes on French wines, side trips to Italy, sage advice on wine collecting, on food and wine pairing, on vintages, plus a photo gallery.
This site is completely independent: there is no commercial arrangement with the wine business. A wine or vintner is recommended because of their sheer interest.
About the author
I am a white male in my fourties. I was born in France and I still live there.
I am a computer programmer. I do not work in the press industry. I merely represent myself.
I got into a wine passion slowly -- by realizing that there was always more to understand, and that it was a pleasure to get to know winemakers better.
