A Unique Resource In Your Pocket ... For Wine Lovers Only
As a creative writer who sets his stories of global adventure within the delightfully seductive
world of wine, I am constantly researching everything related to grape-growing, wine-making, and the
culture that supports, motivates and nurtures these fascinating pursuits.
Before deciding to explore the joys of becoming an epicurean
novelist, I spent years travelling the world cultivating a career that gave me the opportunity
to visit vineyards and wineries on virtually every continent — in countries where I had the
great fortune of being able to taste some of the world’s finest wines, not only from legendary 'old
world' winemakers like Lafite Rothschild and Tenuta Biondi Santi, but also from new and often
adventurous vintners in places like Tanzania, Curaçao, Japan, and Indonesia.
The @DanteWineNotes,
which are posted regularly throughout the year on Twitter, are a carefully decanted side-product
of my ongoing research, especially as it relates to the history of wine. My hope is that you
find these tweets informative and, on occasion, entertaining – if not amusing.

Not only did Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti know how to paint and sculpt, he also knew about winemaking. When completing his work on the Sistine Chapel, he sent wine from his estate in Nittardi to Pope Paolo III as a gift. A tradition that still continues to this day. pic.twitter.com/bNZkxaE4ps
