Some of my fellow bloggers on the b5 Lifestyles channel are posting about where they blog. I decided to join in. I actually have a desk, I just don’t use it. For one, the wireless router doesn’t work, so I can’t get online from the desk. For another, I’m a fantastic procrastinator, so I usually have […]

Wine,
Here we are, a year later, and I’m still enamored. Last Valentine’s Day I charted the history of our relationship–the initial attraction, which was like flirting across a room when you don’t really know someone.

It occurred to me that I had missed the two-year anniversary of my long drive to Redwood City, California, that ended January 19 and began my wine dream. This month last year, I was very aware of its arrival and excited to chart my progress. This year had too much going on for me to notice, which […]

Perhaps you found me here because you read Wine Outlook. In that case, welcome to Behind the Vines and thank you for tracking me down. I couldn’t be more flattered. Well, unless you were Jancis Robinson and you were reading my blog.
If you do already know me, feel free to skip ahead. The plan is to introduce […]
