Rampant Oenophile

Oenophiles derives from the latin "enjoys too much wine," and The Rampant Oenophile provides a forum for us to share our impressions of all things wine-y.

I am just building a collection of wines that I can drink, not that I would store for investment, so depend on hearing stories, warts and all, of the new wines I encouter. Hopefully, we can share stories, recommendations, special finds, and favorite links to enjoy the venerable draught of "the most noble and challenging of fruits."*
