book me
I am available for private seminars, guided tastings and speaking engagements for groups of all sizes. Whether you are looking for a themed tasting, a lively lecture/discussion, a wine class or an exploration of a specific topic, producer or vintage, I will work with you to create a uniquely memorable event.
Fees will be dependent upon the size of your group and the type of tasting you would like me to create. Examples: Varietal tastings, regional tastings, competitive (WA vs. CA) tastings, old vs. young wines, library wines - the possibilities are limitless.
Contact me by e-mail and we will work out a custom program for you. References available on request.

professional help for your afflicted website
"From wine what sudden friendship springs" is a quote attributed to a 17th century poet, John Gay. Truer words were never spoken. This new version of my website, now happily ensconced on Blogger, with greatly enhanced functionality, is entirely owed to the sudden friendship of two very generous people.
Jeff Lewis is a custom software developer and consultant, specializing in open source and free software technologies. His company is Burly Systems and he can be reached at burlysystems@gmail.com. Without his expertise and constant encouragement, I'd still be operating a wood-fired computer. Rhia Bucklin took on the challenge of re-coding my original iWeb design into Blogger, and helped Jeff set up a website that even I can manage without difficulty. Rhia’s business website is 216 Colors.
My deepest appreciation to both Jeff and Rhia. Should any readers need some help with their own blog or website, here are the folks who can help you move past any and all hurdles.
