I can’t tell if I enjoy this Sauvigon Blanc because I find that the pyrazines are overwhelming my palate.”

Welcome to Wine for Real People

My name is Frank Frausto. I'm a Level I Sommelier, but I'm just a regular guy that knows a little about wine. I started this blog because I got tired of the wine blogs that only catered to oenophiles. That only review expensive, hard to find wines that none of us will ever drink. That only cater to the 1%.

This blog is for everyday people that want to know a little more about wine that the average person. It features practical advice, wine reviews, and a no-nonsense approach to decode wine and take the snobbery out of enjoying a glass or two.

Cheers!
