I love fine wines and gourmet foods. I spoil myself from time-to-time on some of the finest in these categories. I have tasted some of the finest wines in the world (including a 1990 Cabernet Sauvignon by Château Lafite-Rothschild). I like getting my friends and family together for "wine and cheese" nights. Of course, I also enjoy having a nice red while reading a good book.

Examples

Below are some examples of what I mean. I have tried most of this wine and food in the country it was produced. That is, during my World Travels. I was introduced to most of this food by the nationals, who later became good friends. They also taught me the "right" way to prepare and consume it.
