Photo Galleries
I am a passionate photographer of the people and places I encounter in my personal and business travels. In these galleries you will find photographs from vineyards, dining tables and exotic destinations - images that enhance the memories of engaged senses. It is no accident that Image and Imagination have a strong semantic link - when we ask someone to imagine something, we say "picture this...."
Images, like good tasting notes, are memory triggers - they are not the memory themselves, but our key to unlock the memories we have within. Here, then, are visual keys that may open your memories as well as representing my own.

An archive of in-depth tasting notes, many of which are referenced on blog posts, is maintained on the tasting note page
Benvenuto Brunello, an event held simultaneously in eight cities worldwide, was the debut of the storied 2019 vintage of Brunello di Montalcino, Tuscany’s classic, iconic and all-sangiovese wine. I was the presenter for one of the three American debut tastings, and have the story here.
