In 2003 I started making beer as a gift from my wife. Margot thought I should spend time on a hobby
after my cancer treatment instead of working all the time like I had before. Her only requirement was
that we get any equipment I would need to make her "girly fruit wine". No sacrifice there. As I got
familiar with the process of making wine I found that I could make all kinds of wine, and good wine
too! I was hooked. Since then I have bought all sorts of new equipment, experimented with all kinds of
ingredients, adopted new processes and even won some medals in competition. I still make some beer, and
also cider, but I love to make wine.
In 2010 I decided to embark on a journey to get certified as a sommelier. I am hoping that this journey
will help me get better at creating food and beverage experiences and allow me to serve others who seek
new and interesting flavors at their table. Who knows where this will take me, but I am sure the going
will be a lot of fun. I am going to be using the Ancient Fire Wine Blog to chronicle my
adventures. Be sure to check back often or consider subscribing to get notified of another adventure.
