About Me

I am a wine enthusiast who began my journey in 2005, after realizing the beauty of a good wine while sampling from a family friend's cellar. Those sips I had in the cellar were my first, and I haven't looked back since. Since then, I have done my best to go to local tastings each week. I have (as of January 2021) tried around 7500 wines, reaching Cellartracker a few hundred in, and keeping only halfway decent track of what I've tried here only since the end of 2007.

The only thing better than discovering and learning about wines (and, of course, trying new wines whenever possible) is enjoying wine with friends. It's always a good time to get ahold of something new, that less common varietal or blend from yet unexplored areas of the world.

Misc info: Completed medical school in May 2008, residency in Internal Medicine in June of 2011, and completed fellowship for Hematology and Medical Oncology in 2014. Currently practicing as a hematologist/medical oncologist. Outside of wine and medicine, my other passions include good food (cooking, baking, or just plain eating it), college football, tennis, and music.
