Wine is for everyday consumption

I love wine. I read about wine incessantly, take notes liberally, and shop for wine leisurely. I readily admit to not having nearly the knowledge of the steward at my favorite local beer and wine store or my friend who owns a wine shop nearby. I know just enough to be curious and try new wines on a frequent basis -- almost every day.

Rarely do I spend more than $20, and only more occasionally do I spend less than $8. Most wines I purchase for everyday consumption are between $9 - $14. Within this range there are endless choices.

I hope you will find my notes straightforward and unpretentious. Use them as a shopping guide, particularly if you are in the Atlanta area. Or, simply read them to find your own inspiration.

Here's to simple enjoyment.
