If there’s one thing I’ve learned above all others it’s I still have a lot to learn. When buying wine there are a few small tips from years of making mistakes I’d like to offer. By the way, this failing over and over is called wisdom in many corners of the globe. That sounds great…

Have you ever had something you should have paid more attention to until it was too late? It was always there so you just didn’t give it as much attention as you should have. I mean, you knew it was there, you enjoyed it,but just never thought it was going anywhere.  I was knocked off…

Some are afraid of failing in search of their dreams. I have little doubt that the seeking of one’s dreams can turn into just that, a search! Locked away in your brain, never to see the light of day. Why? Because connecting that bridge with reality is easier said than done. Or maybe you’re more…

Yes, I hate elitists and those that won’t share what they know, the person who believes he…

Remember that old adage? Too much of a good thing becomes bad. Yes, these days it’s not just limited to drinking. It’s too much milk, too much meat, too much salt, too much, too much! I’ve never subscribed to such babel since as soon as you’re following the latest wisdom dug up from a limited…

I’ve heard many refer to myself and other winemakers as artists. I’ve never gotten my mind around this concept.  Me, an artist? The same man who can’t play an instrument but loves music, and singing especially in the shower. Me, who’s only drawings worth a damn were stick men while I was doodling in school.…
