My wife, Heidi and I have had the wonderful opportunity to spend some time with The Vines Wine Director, Mariana Onofri to learn more about wine. She has guided us through some exercises and taught us more than we ever could have imagined. We have gone from true novices to being able to speak more intelligently and confidently about wine. We owe it all to Mariana!

I have blogged about our experiences on Huffington Post. Here are the links:
