About Me

WSET II and III w/Lindsay Pomeroy, MW
WSET Diploma Student w/Peter Neptune, MS
Former Wine Educator at Grapes & Grains, Temecula
Current Wine Educator for Wine Smarties

20 years experience wine tasting and collecting. Looking to expand wine knowledge, trade information on specific bottles, and improve my personal tasting notes. Always down for Offlines in the SoCal region.

While my hometown of Temecula doesn't produce ultra-premium quality wines, there are still some good to very good to excellent wines being crafted in the Valley. I have tasted nearly 900 wines and post on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/vinotemecula/. I recently published an independent newsletter called "Temecula Wine Quarterly" that will be distributed throughout the area (https://temeculawinequarterly.com/). It features winemaker interviews and wine reviews, editorials, and local news and notes.
