At age 60, it's getting more difficult to teach this 'old dawg' new tricks, but this seems to be a great way to supplement my AllAmericanWineries.com website. This blog will *not* be a review of wines, though many of you have asked me to do such reviews. My philosophy has always been, 'who the heck am I to think my tastes are refined enough to grade wines...'
I'll quite likely be making observations about all things wine related, from some of the more ridiculous laws in the USA to published research by others about wine and the future of wineries in the USA. Think of me as your 'Uncle Bob,' with a twinkle in my eyes as I look around and share my views of all things grape into a unique perspective.

About Me
- Bob H
- Born and raised mostly in northern California as a 'child of the 60s.' Watched Napa and Sonoma wine country explode in growth over the past 45+ years. In addition to visiting or living in 45 of the 50 United States, I've visited several countries in Asia and the Bordeaux region of France. Retired in 2000 to the 'Heart of North Carolina Wine Country' just as the number of wineries in NC was beginning to expand, much as I'd seen in northern California. I realized the possibilities of winery tourism at a time when many others did not. I started several websites in 2000 and 2001 to promote winery tourism, and I sincerely hope this blog will help you navigate and enjoy the winery terroir. Calistoga!
