![]() Curiosity"It's better to be interested than interesting." - unknownCuriosity is what drives my wine journey. When I taste something delicious, unique, surprising, or just good for the price, I take notice and wonder why. Is it the grape varietal or blend? Is it where the wine comes from? Maybe the winemaker? Perhaps the year? Every
week we try to find wines that might be the next step on your wine
journey and give you a chance to taste them. Add some wines we
think are great values and maybe a wine just for fun. That is
what our wine flights have to offer. You can always find out what
is currently on the wine flight by checking the Blog (because we don't want to send you too many emails.)
