“There is the beginning of a renaissance of wine making in the southwest, and no one else seems to be representing it properly,” says Jim. “What does that mean?

My job is to write—and talk—about it in detail, while providing wine consumers with new markets and wines to try. Life doesn’t get any better than that!”
