I'm a personal trainer in St Pete who grew up in CA. When I was a kid, my parents dragged me every weekend to Napa Valley to wine taste. My parents always snuck me tastes, and I truly believe that's when my love affair with wine began. I just moved to Florida, and am a little scared to be so far away from the wine country. But I'm hoping to find some great wine shops and bars here down South!

La Crema chardonnay, St Francis cab, Whitehall Lane cab, Sequoia Grove Stagecoach Syrah. I'm getting way into Italian wines, and love anything from the Saint-Emilion region in France. Other favorite wineries include Chalk Hill and Napa Celllars and Silver Oak.
