Wine = Fun, right?

Wine should be fun, right?! Spending a majority of my time around wine, reading about wine and tasting different wines I have came to realize a reason a lot of people don't drink wine is because they are intimidated! Rightfully so with the use of descriptor words such as cat pee, grass, graphite, tobacco just to name a few. And then to add to that the "I'm too good" attitude that so often is out there...there is this stereotype out there that the more you spend the better or the better the "score" the wine received the better quality...drink what you like, that's the best wine! It's simply fermented grape juice, let those that want to be serious about do just that, let them be serious and not have any fun...! You (and I) on the other like to enjoy great wine (great based on my taste, not $) and have a good time doing so.

With that said I encourage everyone to try new wines, attend events with wine, drink wine with dinner or by itself...really begin to explore wine in a whole new light...make it a fun conversational beverage, not something that you feel you need to be dressed up to drink or enjoying with a "fine" dinner. Have fun, share and enjoy!

Having such a strong conviction to "have fun" with wine inspires me to do what I do each and everyday, always searching out fun new ways to bring people together for great fellowship and enjoy great wine. Something I feel we do very well at the store (Vino 100), I encourage you to share some of your special moments spent here at Vino 100 and maybe some friendships that have been formed while enjoying great wine!
