Today's the day!

Standing in front of shelves stacked with wines from around the world brings a smile to my face and a shudder to my credit card. Stroking the cool cellar walls in Burgundy, Napa, or Stellenbosch - and peering into the darkness that protects the forthcoming vintages fills me with wonder. Not to mention the the excitement in tasting local foods and meeting and getting to know the many wonderful and passionate people you bump into along the way. So... today is the day to start sharing my little adventures in the world of food and wine...
