Welcome to the Tasty Grape!

This blog will allow us to bring you along on our wine tasting adventures, right from the comfort of your own computer. If ever you're looking for a nice bottle of wine to accompany a romantic dinner, to sip while sitting by the fire, or to forget about the week you're having, we hope this will be a place for you to come and get some recommendations. While we don't yet consider ourselves professional wine tasters, we do know what tastes good and what tastes like an old shoe left out in the rain. Cheers!!
