I haven't been drinking wine long. But since I've caught the wine bug, I've been absorbing as much as possible. Living in Santa Barbara has given me regular access to some really good (and also not so good) wine. However, I'm always trying to find oddball varietals from obscure corners of the globe as well. Of course, Cabernet Franc is my personal favorite and a recurring motif for this blog. But I'm open to try any wine that shows both elegance and character. Wine, like life, is an ongoing learning experience. If you'd like to contact me about my content, sending press samples, or just to say hello, please email me at cabfrancophile@gmail.com.
