Pairing Wine With My Life's Adventure

Part 1, REINVENTION: Quit my job, sold my house and moved from Cali to NYC for sommelier classes. Part 2, GETTING MY HANDS DIRTY: Moved to Napa and worked in a cellar and vineyard making wine. Part 3: STUDYING ABROAD: Traveling through France and Italy on a wine scavenger hunt. Sto cambiando la mia vita e desidero imparare circa vino. Je change ma vie et je veux me renseigner sur le vin. Part 4: TRY TO GET SERIOUS: After my travels, I've moved back to New York and now work as a Sommelier.

maybe you wanna buy it?

While I'm trying to drink more wine from Spain and not pine for my stuff back in storage in California, I've posted my car for sale.

The Spanish red I'm drinking is Caracol Serrano Tinto Joven 2005, Jumilla blend of Monastrell, Cab, Syrah, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Rich in fruit, bright and great price from Thirst Wine in Ft. Greene, new-ish store that loves Kermit Lynch imports (Bay-Area people should look up Kermit for the wine connection).

Buy my car.

I'm feeling much better btw and looking forward to St. Patrick's day which is the 1-year anniversary of me leaving Napa (and California as a whole for that matter) onto my Sommelier journey...

sick and lucky

I'm home home, sick in bed and I just got Borat in the mail from netflix, yay! Thursday night I got to taste Nicolas Joly's Savennieres 'Coulee de Serrant' 2003. Very ripe and exotic with honey and hay. I decanted it for 5 very cool guys. I wish I could have tasted it a few hours later, even the next day. It had nice structure while it was nice and ripe.
