About Me:
Dan has had a lot of experience traveling and drinking wine. Generally those are great qualifications for a hobo, but it could be argued that they're also minimal qualifications to write on the subjects. Since true knowledge of wine consumption can only be acquired by drinking, Dan has dedicated this site to giving the readers more basic knowledge on wine and letting the drinking part sort itself out. I'm sure you're all up to the task! In fact, there's a term for those of us who want to learn more but don't want to be tied up in nuance...we call ourselves the passionately casual wine lovers.
Like most Italian-Americans he’s been drinking wine all his life. However, his true love of wine didn’t begin until he lived in Rome, Italy with a Sicilian and a Calabrian. Homemade wine from Italy’s southern regions was a constant on the dinner table. If there was wine, it was consumed. It was like wine freedom. A few years later while working at a bank in Switzerland, Dan had his first brush with wine snobbery. There’s nothing worse than spending an evening listening to a wine snob. Especially as a lowly intern who already felt out of place. Not long after that experience the true value of wine professionals became clear to Dan while participating in the grape harvest in Tuscany. The depth of knowledge of today’s true wine professionals and the impact that knowledge has on wine was astounding. Dan knew if he was going to learn more about wine it would have to come from the professionals. During his extensive time in Europe he was lucky enough to try wine in many great wine producing regions including Italy, Spain and France. These great experiences remain with Dan even if his “exuberant” approach to the tastings has limited how much he can remember.

As for the TV show and videos...Dan has never hosted anything, except a few parties, but even his guests would tell you that he’s not very good at that. The fantastic news is that as a hosting virgin he totally lacks the ability to be smarmy and glib (yes, those are real words.) Mostly we think he’s just trying to eat, drink, and play...and get paid for it.
