Memorable Wine

Well maybe the one above, or perhaps the Baby Duck I had behind the high school portable. Ouch!

First Wine

My first wine was a brunello, which I described in my first book. Very sensual: got me into wine!

Unusual Wine Experience

When I went shark diving in South Africa, then paired wine with seafood for my new book Unquenchable.

Current Fav Wine

Pinot Noir, now, then and always!
