So the Bizarro Brunch Club which will be held at different times on Saturdays and Sundays. I will coordinate with different venues, both popular ones and hidden jewels.

The cork.  The swish.  The color.  The bouquet.  Perfection. I have a never-ending, insatiable passion for wine.  I'm a lover and a learner, refining my palette every step of the way.  Yes, I have my favorites, but on a whim or after the right tasting, that could change and voila!  I've made way for another beautiful, flavorful bottle to find its way into my wine fridge.
