Expertise

I can answer most questions on drink recipes and wines. I can and will respond to all questions, and if I dont know the answer, I may be able to recommend a reference book or web site.

Experience in the area

I have been a bartender and purchaser of fine wines and spirits for several fine dining restaurants in Denver, Colorado, Keystone Colorado,San Diego, California, and Washington DC. I have been a mixologist in San Francisco, Washington DC and several locations in Colorado. I am in possession of several reference books on alcohol, and wines, and I have been a DUI officer with one police department and one Sheriffs Department.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

Every question I can answer, or explore increases my knowledge of the subject. So I must thank you for educating me.
