I started this blog, because my husband and I are fascinated with wine. Not about drinking and partying. It's learning all of the complexity behind the wine. It all starts with the appellation, the prime spot to grow your grapes. Appellation is key to making a good wine. For example, Sonoma Coast, California is perfect for Pinot Noir but not for Cabernet Sauvignon. If you want a good Big Red like Cabernet or Merlot than the Napa floor is the key location. But if you want a good Chardonnay - the Carneros region of Napa is ideal, because of its terroir(the conditions - the micro-climate, soil, topography, and the viticulture), it is perfect for growing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes but yet they are in the same appellation - Napa. Confusing? Yes, but that's why we love wine because there is so much to learn.
So check our blog for wine reviews, educational notes, shopping tips and how to start drinking good wine even on a limited budget!
