Wine, Pleasure, Beauty
Wine, happiness, a culture of pleasure. An exploration that roams from a local wine drinking community to a whole world of passion, beauty, and pleasure that awaits us out there. You know, eat, drink, and be merry-type stuff. Let's dive into wine and pleasure, but not take ourselves too seriously. After all, as a friend of mine likes to point out to beer geeks and wine freaks, "we're just talking about 10 minutes of pleasure, that's all."
To connect with me elsewhere, I can be found on Twitter @RonMarks, on Cork'd to share what we're drinking, or for my more personal mindcasting stuff, check out www.ronmarks.tumblr.com, or you can simply ask me a question here
Cheers!

Here is the first of my interviews with local wine people, that is, people who are a part of and help shape the community of wine and please seekers local to Fort Collins and Boulder.
My intention in this series of interview is to not just show you particulars about the wine and pleasure seeking community in Northern Colorado, but to use our wine culture to illuminate different aspects of the what I think of as the pleasure culture more broadly defined.
For my first interview, recorded in early January, I sit down with Stephanie Davis of Kylix Wine. Stephanie is a wine educator, and in this video she explains what that is, and demonstrates - with the help of two bottles of sparkling wine - what it is that a wine educator can do. This was informative for me too, as I not only learned a few things about these sparkling wines, but I got a glimpse into the “work” of a wine educator. I think more than a few of my readers/viewers will have a new dream job after this!
If you want to learn more, please feel free to check out Kylix Wine here, and if you are local to us, be sure to look her up.
So, until the next time, let me raise my glass to you, and hope you are living la dolce vita.
