Introduction
Welcome to this website that is dedicated to the wonderful world of wine. I love wine. I have been an oenophile for the past 30 years. I guess I came about it honestly as I was born in France, and grew up with an appreciation for wine. I created this web so that I could share my love of wine with other wine enthusiasts.
This site is filled with information about every aspect of wine, from the grape to the barrel to the bottle and finally to your glass. Take a trip around the world and learn about the different types of grapes that each country grows, and the wonderful wines that they make from these grapes.
Read about how you can set up your own formal or less formal wine tastings; how to appreciate, not only the taste of the wine, but also its appearance and nose. Wine is an extensive hobby, and like so many other hobbies, there is a world of accessories that go hand in hand with the enjoyment of wine.
I also love to cook, so I have included two sections; one on pairing wines with different cheeses, and the other on how food in many areas of the world has developed to complement the wines of those regions. I will share some of my favorite recipes and suggests which wines might go
well with them.
Should you purchase a decanter? What kind of
wine glasses should you have? Do all wines need
decanting? How should you store your wines? How
long do wines last? How do you create a wine
cellar?
These and many more questions are addressed
throughout this web site; so fill your glass with your
favorite wine, and come an join me in exploring the
wonderful world of wine.
