About WiNEZ

WiNEZ was a monthly event at EZ Street Saloon in South Range, WI. Unfortunately, due to lower turn out the owners had decided to stop hosting the event. The last wine night at EZ was held on November 12, 2014. But that is not to say the die hards won't be getting together for some wine tasting periodically at EZ Street Saloon. I will continue to blog the wines we have tasted pre starting this blog, along with our impromptu meetings, and maybe transform the blog into something more personal. We will see where it goes. I do know the blog will still be about wine!

So for my WiNEZ pals you can count on this blog to serve as an archive of what was consumed and a reference for your spending sprees. For those who are just curious about what the Northwest Wisconsinites are drinking here are some thoughts… but be warned I am by no means a wine expert-I only know what I like. Since I am not an expert I will try to include the winemakers label descriptions as well.

Salute! or as the Finnish would say Kippis!

About your blogger

I am not employed by EZ Street Saloon, just a big fan and good friend with the owners and their families.  You could say we are almost family.  I have always liked wine, but didn't really start to become a winey until EZ Street Saloon started their wine nights.  Shortly after I started going to wine nights a friend gave me a wine journal, as a result I became the reference for what everyone liked. Then it was suggested I should blog it for all to have access and so WiNEZ was born.

By day I am an ecologist.  Spending that time playing in the mud and water and with chemicals in the lab. My chemistry background helps a little with understanding the complexities, really it boils down to what tastes good. My field experiences in streams, rivers, and wetlands may have helped most with some of the creative descriptions. You might find reference to an aroma of "Cow poop and wetlands".

Hobbies in addition to drinking wine include making wine,  art (original drawing featured on the blog) and crafts, outdoor sports both summer and winter, chasing a small child around, and sometimes chasing after the cat and dog too. I am married to one of my best friends- who doesn't care much for wine except really good higher end chardonnays.

I hope you are enjoying the blogs. I am always open to comments or sharing experiences- please do not feel intimidated to comment.  Maybe someday we can enjoy a glass or two together at WiNEZ.

Salute! or as the Finnish would say Kippis!
