Introduction

Greetings everyone and welcome to my blog!

My goal with this website, is to provide a sustained narrative on the local wine community. I hope to produce content that is valuable to insiders, and accessible to others. The content i will be publishing here is going to be: technically focused wine writing, covering a range of topics from site selection to sales and tasting.

There are many things i look forward to posting about and i am excited to start!

First, I will offer a little bit about myself.

I am a Virginia winemaker with over 13 years in the industry. In my youth i was introduced to wine production at a young age. When i finished university i knew i wanted to apply my education to agriculture, and immediately i was in the vineyard and cellar, and aside from a few short sabbaticals, I have never left.

The creative potential of growing grapes to make wine struck me as infinitely fascinating, and remains an exhilarating pursuit. I love wine as an expressive medium and am continually inspired by the great wines of the world.

Currently, I am in my eleventh year as head winemaker and vineyard manager at a limited production winery in the Monticello AVA.

I hope in time readers will get to know my personality through my writing and content, and i look forward to being creative with the various writing and photography projects.

I seek to provide the service to our local wine industry; of insightful perspectives on the technical and cultural. My content is organic and self inspired.

I hope you enjoy my content! Be sure to join my mailing list if you want to stay up to date on my various projects. There is a contact form available should anyone want to connect directly. Thanks for looking!
