Fan mail!
Well, it's a very special time in a young blogger's life--I got my first note from someone who I don't know. It's quite exciting to know that someone (I hope more than just one person!) has read this. I'm going to try to keep this updated fairly regularly; for now, I think on a Monday-Wednesday-Friday schedule.
A little about me: In spite of how it looks from these reports, the vast majority of my drinking is $15 wine. I almost never open something more expensive than that randomly. I do try to go to tastings when I can (more about one of those later today), and I am a huge fan of higher-end BYOBs.
I'm not a full-time professional, but I have a lot of experience tasting, and in buying at auction. I've done a bit of consulting in that area, and I've organized a couple of tastings, including the Greenwich event I wrote about here. Anyone wanting advice on how to get events like these going is welcome to contact me.
Should I ever recommend anything in these pages, it's just because I think it's worthwhile; I (alas!) derive no financial benefits from any of it.
