Bio

I just finished my degree in kinesiology at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I am studying to be a sommelier and just cannot get enough of the world of wine. Love to try just about any type of wine from anywhere in the world, and am pretty knowledgeable about the central coast wine region in California. Feel free to ask me a question about it any time.

Fuller bodied tempranillo, darker purply hue. Flavors of dark fruit and chocolate with smooth and slightly spicy finish. It was great with the homemade pizza

Nice color, aromas of black currant, earth, and a little vegetal characteristics. Nice and smooth going down but slightly tart on the finish. Didn't have with any food but is probably a good food wine.

Like heaven in your mouth. This full bodied cab feels like velvet, with flavors of chocolate, black currant and berries and a great finish. Beautiful

Light in body and in color. This is a great pinot for the price. Cola and cherries on the nose with the berry flavors continuing on the palate. Very smooth finish.
