This site is dedicated to my interests other than wine. To describe myself, I can only hope someone will one day write something similar about me to what Alfred Lansing wrote of Ernest Shackleton.

"Shackleton's unwillingness to succumb to the demands of everyday life & his insatiable excitement w/ unrealistic ventures left him open to the accusation of being basically immature & irresponsible. & very possibly he was-by conventional standards."
