Welcome to my blog!

When I told my wife I had a blog, she had two questions. "Why?" and "Who's going to read it?" Both great questions to which I still have no answer. What I do know is that I'm about to embark on some rather interesting times and travels, that will be the opportunity of a lifetime.

On October 23rd, my wife and I travel to Bordeaux, where I will work (and she will play) for 6 weeks. We'll stay at a delightful Chateau known as Chateau Magnol, just outside the city of Bordeaux. I'll be working with two other Winemakers, and travelling all over France's most notable wine regions. I hope to fill this space with comments and stories of my travels, and detail the food, wine and experiences I find there.

A huge thank you in advance to everyone at work who made the trip possible, and also to those picking up my slack while I'm away. I'm lucky to work with such fantastic people.

Stay tuned, and thanks for the attention.

I just had a chance to read this, while the whole time my mouth watering at the sound of delicious grape juice.
You sound like an author abroad. (Feel free to spell check me)

Hope to hear more soon.
