Who Says We Can?

You may be asking yourself “Hey, what the heck makes these guys so smart? What do they know about wine?” Well nothing in particular makes me smart, but simple experience has made given me the knowledge needed to tell you what you can and can’t drink. Who the hell am I? Well, I’ll tell you:

The name’s Nate, and I don’t drink wine because I have to; I drink wine because I love it. But also I kind of have to. You see, it’s my job. I work at a sucessful wine bar in a little city called Columbia, Maryland. It’s called The Iron Bridge Wine Company and I help to manage the bar. So basically, I’m surrounded by hundreds of bottles of wine every single day, and I do my damndist to try every last one. It also does’t hurt that I’ve spent the last three years surrounded by people who know a heck of a lot more than me. Eventually some of that stuff wears off on you, even when you’re living in a constant, wine enduced haze. So that’s me. Now get back to drinking some good old fashioned vino!

Why do we do this?

I’m not really sure. I guess because it’s fun. Plus I see it as an important public service. There are just too many people out there consuming bad wine and it makes me crazy. So stop by once in a while and see what we’re up to. We’ll keep you informed of everything, from what’s the hot new Cab on the market, to what that local wine geek means when he says his Pinot is “thick and chewy”. Let us know what you think, as long as it’s constructive and complimentary.
