I'm a physical therapist from California. I have many passions, which of course wine is a big one. I grew up in the restaurant business and my Father was extremely knowledgeable about wine and as a result the passion was passed on to me. It was both a blessing and a curse because I was introduced to high class wines early on, well let's just say my palate got accustomed to the good stuff and that unfortunately resulted in an expensive passion. I also love hockey (kings), baseball (Angels--even before they were winning), reading, cooking, and once again--wine

Rhone wines (#1), Italian (amaroni, barolo, and gavi), california central coast pinot noir (roar, pisoni), napa (kongsgaard syrah, gemstone, wolf family)--just to name a few
