Blog Mission Statement

My Personal Mission For This Blog:

Wine is one of the most mysterious beverages. Grown all over the world, wine has become ingrained into our western culture as a beverage of major significance.  It is a multi-billion dollar industry that includes: growers, winemakers, importers, distributors, retailers, and wine critics. And most importantly, wine is revered for its variety, complexities, collect-ability, and just plain deliciousness.

But with all that said, there are many drawbacks to wine that make it hard to be enjoyed by regular people and especially for young adults who have had little experience with wine. To enter the world of wine and enjoy it, many people feel that they need to know and understand the: grape varieties, wine regions of the world, pronunciations, ceremony of drinking wine, and a vocabulary to discuss the wine without sounding foolish.

That is where I am hoping to come in. The intricacies of wine described above should not hold anyone back from consuming it, because the most important aspect of wine is whether or not you personally enjoyed that particular wine. Aromas and taste are completely subjective, and only you can determine how a wine tastes and whether it is enjoyable to you. As a 23 year old, I wish to educate people of my generation (and anyone else who might be interested) about why wine is such a great beverage to enjoy with friends, family, and especially with food. Wine is my hobby, and I will use this blog as a medium to share my excitement.

In this blog I will post topics on:

• production and history of wine
• wine regions and grape varieties 
• specific wine reviews
• Wine terms and other subjects of interest

I will also cover some spirits and common topics about spirits when a bottle of interest comes my way.

- Cheers!
