WHO ARE YOUR MODERATORS

[Bucko]

Bucko's Bio

Randy Buckner is a Family Practice Physician and proponent of sensible, moderate consumption of wine for pleasure and health. He actively opposes wine laws that go against scientific evidence.

A collector/consumer of fine wine for 16 years, his collection reflects his preferences, CA Cab, Southern Rhone, especially CdP, Alsatian wines, especially Gewurztraminer, Loire Whites, CA & OR Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, and German Rieslings.

A professional wine judge, Buckner evaluates wines annually at the New World International Wine Competition. He also writes a weekly wine column, "The Grape," for the Tacoma City Paper.

In his spare time he enjoys wine touring, wine dinners with friends, scuba diving in the South Pacific, Salmon fishing, skeet shooting and gourmet cooking. His door is always open for fellow enophiles - give him a call if you are in town.
