| Introduction | I grew up in the Grape Belt on the shores of Lake Erie, in a world filled with grapes: grape cookie jars, grape jelly glasses, a brass doorknocker shaped like a cluster of grapes. When your father works for Welch's, grapes are everywhere. I have spent most of my career in higher education public relations and in secondary education. My passion for all things wine-related grows by the day. My dream of making wine a career is slowly becoming a reality. |
