A couple of months ago I was talking to my girlfriends and we all found out that we do not know much about wine. Clearly, women are usually left behind when they need to give their opinions about wine. As far as my experience, we always leave the wine topic to boyfriends, uncles, husbands or Grandpa, to give us a good advice about a great wine. So I thought that it would be cool to have a “virtual place” for women to talk freely about wine.
So…I created this blog thinking about all the GIRLS (women) who love GRAPES (wine). Maybe by sharing our experiences, stories and fears about picking a good bottle of wine, we could all learn more and the next time that we have to buy a bottle of wine we will not be that intimidated. Who knows?...
In any case, I think that it all started here, at Lombard Street, San Francisco. It was my first time on the West coast and I loved it!!! Since day 1 I was in love with San Francisco, Napa and Sonoma. Yes you could be in love with 3 cities. Love is love...
On that first trip to SF, I had the chance to visit many wineries in Napa Valley and Sonoma and I totally fell in love with the people, land and weather. In fact, it was the first time that I had a glass of sauvignon blanc in my life! Can you believe that? ...Well I could write hours about these fantastic places but I will do so over time.
Today, I just wanted to share with you girls, that you are not alone out there. We are millions of women who would love to know more about wine but we are too shy to ask. So for this matter, let me tell you that we are very fortunate, as we will have in our blog a wine specialist, a student from the Atlanta Wine School that will be sharing his knowledge about wine. He will be joining us every month and he is starting his first post before St. Valentine’s Day so that we can surprise our Valentine’s with a good choice of wine!!!
Each Monday I will be posting new stories on wine and I’m eager to hear all about your own stories about wine, love and maybe crackers too…

True! We all love to shop but we become so shy at the wine shop. The idea probably is first to read more about wine, attend wine tastings which are so fun and follow your heart and start tasting new wine. If you have always liked reds then start trying white wines. That's a good start!
To: katerina,
Thank you for linking to LocalWineEvents.com on your blog.
I love your blog! The info on the wines are so helpful - cheap, great wines. It's nice to have little tips on makeup too as I'm going to try the Revlon lipstick that you like. You are so creative...thanks for doing this each week!
