I'm an entrepreneur first and a wine critic second.

Best wine if you're stranded on a deserted island? 1982 Salon Champagne.

From age 16, I lived and breathed wine. I read every magazine and book about wine.

If I could drink only one wine, it would be Champagne.

Okay, let's talk about cartoon labels for half a second - some people think anything with a dog or a car or a colorful alien is garbage, which is not true. Look at Big Moose Red. It's, like, a $6 wine with a cheesy label, and it's actually a solid wine.

I influence anybody who is able to get through the chaos of my first impression.
