Considering Wine

In an effort to learn more about wine and to see where it will take me, I’m launching this blog. It will, hopefully, become my book of knowledge over the years.

Update: September 3, 2012

Last August, I launched this blog with the intent on building a book of knowledge about wine that I could use to propel myself into the industry as a sales rep or some other profession that would foster my love of wine and allow me to drink new and interesting varietals and vintages every day.

I started this blog to create a book of knowledge about wine that I could use to find a career as a wine sales rep or some other profession in the industry. But life has a tendency to get away from us when we don’t pay attention and although my work has taken a different path, my love for wine still remains. Considering Wine has given me some great experiences over the last year. I have been able to volunteer for the Texas Wine and Food Foundation pouring wine at their always-fabulous events. I got to meet Rex Pickett, who wrote the book Sideways that became the movie, which became the nemesis of Merlot.  And I have had the privilege of meeting some local experts in the field and learned from them. The wine community is life-giving. It consists of people who are smart, interesting, diverse, and welcoming.

Considering Wine has been on my mind lately and I have been compelled to start it up again. My goal for the second year of this blog is to learn more about wine so I can share more about wine.  I believe this blog will be a place where I can serve my readers and the community. I’m not sure how, but I’m here to find out.
