Hi, I'm Trish!

I love tasting and learning about wine! I got into this hobby in my 30s, and now I am a Certified Specialist in Wine (from the Society of Wine Educators). My husband loves to cook, so we have a great time pairing different foods that he makes with wines that I select.

My husband and I have been to a number of countries that create wine, including Italy, France, Germany, Austria, Portugal, Mexico, and, of course, various parts of the USA (CA, NY, VA). In each of these places, food and wine are such integral parts of the culture, and we try to immerse ourselves to better understand the people. If I had to choose a favorite country, I would say that Italy is our “go to” country and wine. Such incredible history, such great people!

I hope you enjoy my writings. I would love to hear from you, so feel free to contact me.
