basically I grew up in Michigan obviously there’s not much wine around there so I don’t even know where my passion technically started from except I do remember because I started drinking wine I shouldn’t say what age because it was illegal in the US but I started drinking wine at a an early age nothing too crazy like 13 or something but uh or five but anyways I studied abroad in London which I ultimately ended up tasting a couple of really good french wines a Sans a VI and I didn’t know if those were places or grapes I knew I knew nothing about those wines and so I looked them up and I realized that there’s kind of a whole world behind wine and other just other than just the grape and so I got home from that trip and having L those wines and I bought wine for dummies at 19 years old it’s actually quite informative and just started my passion just started snowballing bigger and bigger and then I started traveling to Napa Valley a couple of times in my 20s loved it out there eventually moved out to Santa Barbara and met if you’ve seen the documentary s uh Brian mcclintic who was one of the four Master somes who was in that documentary he had a wine bar focused on Old World Wines in Santa Barbara and we became good friends
