I drink wine because I'm a poet, and perhaps an actor. All goes hand in hand. Oh, and because I'm at school, and one has to drink SOMETHING, right? I also love craft brews, but that's another story. I write and I cook and I listen to a lot of music, which are all good reasons to have a glass in one's hand. I don't like wines that taste expensive; I like wines that taste GOOD. If it's possible to be a connoisseur of $10 Spanish reds, that'll be me in a couple of years. I look for slightly-spicy, food-friendly eccentricity (the Dogfish Heads of the wine world). I bake bread; I almost always take wine with naturally-leavened toast, cheese (local-but-rarely-cheddar; this is Vermont and I'm no tourist), and a book. Need vegetarian/vegan recipes? I'll oblige. Book recs? That too. Wine? I'm no expert, but I have opinions. I speak Spanish. I'm writing my thesis (partly in Spanish) on radical critical pedagogy and socially transformative performance. You can always ask me about any of that, too.
