| Introduction | I started this blog as an experiment, to review random free books I get from working at a bookstore. However, it has become more of a wine blog. For anyone who is starting out drinking wine and wondering what(and what not!) to drink. I'm learning as you do, so please feel free to comment if I say anything glaringly wrong. Oh and there may be some book reviews too. If I feel like it! Drink with me! ggfreckle |
