About:
I am a Fireman in the bay area. I have traveled fairly extensively, the last trip was to France for a few months with my girlfriend, who is French. After living with her there, I became much more interested in Wine, perhaps after having some "forced" down my throat by her father (oh how horrible it was)....such as some 1980's era Nuits-St. Georges that retail here for 300+ but he bought for 9 Francs a piece then...kind of an eye opening experiance compared to your average pinot noir in the US.
City:
Oakland, California
