Why Crushworthy?
I am a professional journalist, but in the wine world, I’m strictly an (admittedly enthusiastic) amateur. I started this blog because I got to taste some terrific wines in San Francisco’s many wine bars and retail stores, and I’d like to spread the word about my favorites. (I now live in the Washington, D.C., area, so I’m looking for retail and wine bar recommendations!) I’m also trying to develop my senses and take a more thoughtful approach to wine tasting, and I’m interested in what others think about the wines I’ve tried — there is much to be learned from differing impressions.
Mostly, though, I love wine and I love to write. Hence: Crushworthy! Hope you find this blog useful. Please join the conversation! And feel free to contact me at crushworthywines@gmail.com.
Though I have looked cursorily, what a great site… and I concur about the big butter bombs of chardonnays, though there are a few that are meritorious…. notably the 90 Diamond T from Talbott…
I look forward to seeing more of your blog!

Have you checked out Weygandt in DC?
Great blog….welcome to DC!
Thanks! It’s good to be back (despite the impending arrival of yet another blizzard). I haven’t been to Weygandt but will check it out!
