I am sure most of my readers know that I am an Oenophile-“a lover or connoisseur of wine.” I fit under the lover part. 🙂
Over a year ago, I had a wine tasting series on my blog which covered the best places for wine tasting in Atlanta.
I really enjoyed gathering with friends at places such as Vine & Tap, Murphy’s and Perrine’s Wine Shop.
Whether you are a novice or a long time wine enthusiast, there is always something to be learned from wine tasting with experts. Because I have been traveling so much (Dubai in November, Thailand in January, South Africa in March..) I have not been able to explore my hometown of Atlanta as much as I would like. But, I have dedicated an entire section of my updated webzine to Atlanta (be sure to check out the NEW look!) Starting this spring, I will resume this series in search of the best places for wine tasting in Atlanta. In addition, I will be attending as many food & wine festivals in the area as possible. I do love food just as much as wine. (lol).
Along with revisiting wine bars I enjoyed in the past, I have added places on my list for wine tasting in Atlanta!
