I’m Michelle from Dallas, Texas. This is my wine blog. Welcome!
I love wine and travel (and wine travel!) and I’m sharing my experiences as I study and explore. I have a special interest in lesser-known regions and styles. As a former chef, I approach wine with the philosophy that wine should be celebratory, food-friendly, and affordable.
In my blog, you’ll find bottle reviews, wine trivia and history, opinion, food pairings, wine news, and some personal stories from my wine-related travels. It’s not just wine: Sometimes whiskey and beer topics show up in the mix. As a lifelong Dallasite, I’m also passionate about sharing opportunities to taste and learn about wine in North Texas and in Texas’s up-and-coming wine regions.
