A Note from Tony
"A year ago I tried retirement, but it didn’t work for me. I don’t play golf.
Seems I can’t stop writing about WINE. It’s all I’ve ever known. All I’ve ever done.
So here we are … back again.
I’ve been telling wine stories for 56 years now. I’m still doing my act at our shows and tastings around the country.
Here I'll be telling wine stories - usually about the wine I had last night."
