I like to thank my best friend, Chris Walker, for giving me a great Christmas present - a leather bound Wine Journal. It inspired me to keep a record and do it in this electronic format. I have included tasting notes from the "Wine Library" and have used the 20 point scoring system of the American Wine Society.

Carolyn and I live in Northern Virginia, about half way between Washington, DC and the Blue Ridge Mountains. We share our home with four sighthounds - two Greyhounds and two Whippets.
Now that our children have grown up and moved away, we still enjoy weekend competition events, but now with the pets.
