Hi, I’m Ziggy and this is my wine blog

Getting started

I have always been an avid yet amateur writer. As a child and young adult, I kept a diary. On long plane rides, instead of watching movies or reading books, I wrote about my feelings, fears and dreams. In my day-job, I wrote about the markets and economics. I’ve always wanted to start a blog but never quite knew what topic would fuel me the most. Three years ago, I picked up a new hobby by taking wine classes. 18 months later, I was a blind-tasting sommelier, with lots of passion for the art of wine.

I’m still a financier by day and have no intention of changing that any day, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t done anything with all this bottled-up wine tidbits, pun intended. About a year-or-so ago, I started hosting wine tasting & learning events through my connections in the corporate world and now I have found the perfect way to marry my passion in wine with my long-time habit of writing and deliver you simple, yet fascinating content about the world of wine.

I plan on covering educational material on grapes, producers, regions, winemaking techniques, my own notes from my wine tasting events etc. Let’s start here and see where things go.

Cheers and thanks for being here,

Ziggy
