The nerd stuff

Right, this is where we drop the polite small talk and go full-on wine nerd. If you’re here for “just something nice and red with dinner,” you might want to back away slowly.

But if you get excited about tannin structure, terroir, and whether 2010 really was better than 2009, then pull up a chair. This is where I roll up my sleeves, open something special, and dive deep into the glorious, geeky guts of wine. It’s the stuff that non-wine friends, and my wife, find really boring. But I know you will secretly thank me for knowing when to smugly order that bottle at dinner.
