In my former life, I was a senior marketing director for a number of Fortune 500 companies.  I traveled the world and fell in love with food and wine along the way. My joy in life is riding with Mike (and Mac), exercise, cooking wonderful meals, going to good and great restaurants,  and, of course drinking wonderful wines.  Most of my wine education has been self learned but I decided to take a wine course at the Culinary Institute in Napa, California to give it more context. This blog is meant to combine our love of all of these things because they are inevitably linked.
