Profile: I live in the Detroit area and I'm working toward certification as a wine expert, called a Master Sommelier. So far I'm in the Guild. Aside from working six days a week, I spend way too much time playing video games and putzing around on the internet. I'm also a Michigan State Graduate (BS Human resources, BA Sociology) and a hardcore sports fan.

Wine can be very overwhelming when it comes to selection because there are just so many options beyond simply “Red” and “White”; so what do you pick?

This week we’ll focus on White wines because… I said so? So if you’re cooking, think fish or chicken, if you want to do a red meat, veal pairs very well with white wine.
