An Introduction

My Life on the Vine. Are you Going to Swing With Me?
Welcome to My Wine Musings fellow devotees, wine drinkers, foodies and all those who are just simply curious and intrigued by the ever changing world of wine. Everybody has a journey. You might be a collector of prized vintages or perhaps you are a novice or a casual observer, never really giving much more than a passing thought to wine. One weekend, after much cajoling by friends, you enjoyed a casual glass of red or white at a neighbourhood restaurant or you even ventured into your local wine shop quietly purchasing a bottle , returned home, popped the corked (or screwcap, as that familiar '70s trend has reemerged) , slid in a DVD of Sex and the City , poured yourself a glass, absorbing the fragrant aromas, watching the liquid, someone's hard fought labor, hit the glass and thought to yourself, "What have I been missing,"?   I am Michael DeBeaulieu, wine consultant, passionate, nerdy wine enthusiast, and I invite you to explore, taste and learn with me through exhilarating vintages, Old and New World regions, exciting trends and above all discover for yourself the pleasure of wine. In addition to blogging and tending to my devoted Corkscrew customers, I also conduct Private and Corporate Tastings specializing in fundraisers, office and holiday  parties, conferences, formal dinner parties, anniversaries and birthdays.
