An Intro of sorts

Thought I should take a moment and introduce myself.
Hello, I am Nettie.

I have been working in the wine industry for almost 4 years and I have been studying to be a Sommelier for 2 years.

My favorite red varietal is Cabernet Franc (Loire Valley) and my favorite white is Sancerre (Loire Valley as well). As far as palates go, I do have more of a man's taste in wine. I enjoy the earthy, smoking, meaty, dirty reds. I want to taste the soil the vines have been growing in. I want bouquet more than aroma on the nose as well.

Besides wine I like to dabble in art - ceramics, photography, and digital media.

I can never stop learning, I am a professional student, a collector of knowledge and degrees! I am motived to learn something new that peaks my curiosity. I am currently 2/3 on my way to becoming a Sommelier and I have just become a member of the Society of Wine Educators. I have a Bachelor of Arts in History, a minor in Psychology, and a Masters of Science in Multimedia Technology - All from California University of Pennsylvania.

I look forward to trying and reviewing wines to share with you all. And hopefully helping you to find new wines to try and help you expand your wine world.
