Just checked out my friend Paul Hart's new wine blog... WinePrint
The thought occurred to me that-

A little Background...
When I worked in the Tasting Room, I never believed in telling people what they would taste- cassis, truffles, cherries, eye of newt. I thought each person should decide what they taste with no outside influence. My philosophy was that part of the enjoyment in wine tasting was the joy of discovery. Discovering a subtle note, an unidentified flavor, a varietal, the interesting person tasting next to you, or the fact you actually liked wine!
It is with this in mind that I started this blog. Instead of telling you the esoteric of wine tasting, I would share with you the joys I personally discover while wine tasting in Southern Oregon.
Please take this journey with me. You may have a few laughs, you might discover new wineries or tasting rooms, you might even learn something along the way- provided that I learn it first.
If you enjoyed my service and company behind the bar, perhaps you will enjoy it on this side of the bar. I certainly hope so.

Let the journey take us where it may and the discoveries begin!
Cheers,
Joe Spagnualo
