We are two thirty-something wine lovers with more enthusiasm than expertise. We’re married with a two-year-old, so after her bedtime, we’ve been known to sip a bottle or two. We like to drink. More specifically, we like a nice shiraz or pinot noir, but we’ll pretty much drink anything that tickles our tastebuds. We want: to have grapeinabottle serve as a learning community, to educate ourselves and others on the joys of fermented grapes. We hope that everyone, from the novice oenophile to the master sommelier, will join us on our journey on wine terrain.
