Smells Like Grape
http://smellslikegrape.blogspot.com/
“Smells Like Grape” is a documentation of our journey to find new wines, visits to wineries, wine shops and wine events. We show some photography and share some food. Our purpose is to demystify wine and encourage people to try wines without fear or intimidation. We have a following of wine newbies, wine professionals, foodies, restaurateurs and fellow wine bloggers.
