About Me

It was the summer before fourth grade. I administered a taste test involving blue-bandana blindfolds and sixty flavors of Towne Club, a Detroit pop. Playoff brackets; round-robin style. If memory serves, the champion was Pineapple-Orange, followed closely by Sasperilla. Then I took my parents and seven-year-old brother on the same rollercoaster for local competitor Faygo.

When I arrived in Southern France at 17, I would drink wine only if I could have a Coke too. By the end of the summer I was doing Chateauneuf side-by-sides for anyone who would play along. These days, my friends and family have learned to love it ... and I’ve learned not to talk about it the *whole* time ;).
