Getting to know the moderators

Been doing wine about as long as hotwine. Had wine (in small amounts) when we were way too young to be legal. I vaguely recall getting 1961 Ch. Lafite Rothschild for about $10 or so. Remember when I couldn't wait till the current vintage of Clos du Bois Marlstone came out. Read a lot - have many books on wine, even as a secondary subject. Had about 10 wineries within 4 miles of our last home, and visited often, asking questions, tasting wine, etc. Been working retail wine for a bunch of years. Visited an awful lot of wineries over a lot of years, asked a lot of questions from the staff, winemakers, owners. Made a bunch of friends in the wine industry. Taste an awful lot of wine every week. And so on, and on.

Forgot to mention - I have kids who are into wine also, at least two out of three anyway. CG is one of them.
