wine
My love for wine began almost 4 years ago while I was visiting a friend in Tucson, AZ. We took a day trip to a few southern Arizona vineyards. Who knew Arizona had a wine region!?
My first love was very innocent … The 2003 Sonoita Vineyards Angel Wings, a crisp and citrus-flavored white made from mission grapes. While I was at Sonoita I also tasted the 1989 Pinot Noir, the oldest wine I’ve ever tasted.
My taste, curiosity and affection for wine quickly evolved from there. I learned that I prefer reds over whites and there’s more to red wine than a Yellow Tail Shiraz. I’ve never met a blend I didn’t like and my all-time favorite is the Mak Snowy River, a Cabernet-Shiraz blend… delicious!
Why am I telling the world this? Well, my involvement for wine has moved to a new level and I want the world to know! Now, I’m doing some freelance work for a new Boston-based magazine that’s all about wine! The Second Glass is everything the Wine Spectator is not. We’re fun-loving, free-spirited and tight-budgeted…Read this to get a nice picture of who we are and what we want to be.
So, as I’m embracing this new world of fun, I’m discovering many great things about the Boston wine scene. First of all, Bostonians like their wine! And, many of them are interested in cheap and convenient ways to try more, experiment and learn. If you are one of them, join in the conversation on Yelp.
I hope I have much more to say about this very, very soon!
