Hello world! This is my 50th post here on The Rambling Vine. I figured I’d better make some noise on here before the 11th anniversary rolls around!

Corks galore! A visual metaphor for the passage of time… and wine.

I started blogging about wines in 2012 and over the course of the next few years transitioned careers, became a mom, and thus kissed my free time goodbye for way too long (moms, you understand). Life happens and I love the changes it has brought with it. I love where I am at right now.

Only until fairly recently have I felt like I had a bit more time and energy to focus back on writing about wine. But while I haven’t been posting on here, I have absolutely not stopped trying different wines, visiting different wineries, researching wines, reading books about wine, recording my tasting notes, and learning everything I can about wine. During the pandemic I decided to go through a very comprehensive wine course and learn about wine from all the major regions of the world. Who knew fermented grape juice could be so fascinating?

Wine affords endless opportunity for exploration and enjoyment, and I’m excited to share what I’ve learned (and am learning) with you. I don’t want to make grand pronouncements or set lofty goals on how much I will write when (because I tend to do that and then fail right from the get go) but I am starting small, and will do my best to resume offering you great wine recommendations and tidbits from my learning and travels from over the last decade plus to right now. Because this stuff is just too great not to share. 🙂

Cheers,
The Rambling Vine
