Sharing my passion for wine, and bringing to you my expertise making and tasting wines around the world as a job since 1999.
Come with me to discover the wines of the world.
As a winemaker, I made fine wines in many countries: France, Italy, Spain, California, Australia, New Zealand. Vignerons (wine growers) around the world have different mother tongues, but I have come to understand that they all speak the same language. The language of the vines, their terroir, their passion for the product and what it gives to the world: joy.
As you try them, their wines will talk about their world. I write about their lives.

Good day! Your website/blog has many thoughtful components and a fun read. I’m wondering if you cover Oregon wines.
-
Tx much for the kind feedback Stacy 🙂
Haven’t had a chance to review Oregon wines here yet, they’re hard to get hold of in my base in France 🙁
But I would certainly happily welcome the opportunity to earn and taste more from your beautiful state 😉
