About Me

Hi! I'm Christina, and I am a recent graduate from Virginia Tech! I'm in Northern VA now pursuing a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I'd like to continue what I learned from the Geography of Wine class I took in Spring of 2012, so I'll be posting about different wines and wine events. I would be very grateful for suggestions, and I'm open to expanding my posts to beer and liquor as well!

Introduction

Here's a little about what I know about wine already, before I start learning a ton of new stuff:

I first had wine with my family when I was 18, and never really drank it that often because, as most people think the first time they have it, I thought it was disgusting.  I kept trying it, since I knew it portrayed "maturity."  Over time, I began to enjoy wine more.  I turned 21 last May, so that is when my wine tasting experiences really began.  I went to the Central VA Wine Festival in July, and after I tried several different Virginia wines, I knew I wanted to know more about wine.  I visited a vineyard over the summer as well, so I have learned a little bit about the wine making process.  Throughout this semester, I think I may be overwhelmed by all that I am learning, but I can't wait to know as much as I can!  Tomorrow, I am doing a free wine tasting at the Vintage Cellar with my friend Josh (who isn't a huge fan of wine), but I'll see if I can convert him into a wine lover!
