Background information

Here's some background information about the blog and why we started it:
Why we started blogging--
We are both Northwest natives and have really enjoyed the wine around here. In the last few years, we've broadened our horizons and really started trying new wines from the region. We've really enjoyed it and I wanted to give us more motivation to go out and try different wines. Here are our preferences when it comes to wine:
Lance: Likes big red wines with a good mix of fruit and oak, dry to semi-dry white wines and balanced dessert wines as his typical choices. He hasn't found a type of grape or blend that he doesn't like though (but plenty of wines made from these that he doesn't like).
Jen: Likes well balanced white wines, well structured reds, sparkling wines, and some dessert wines. She is particularly fond of wines that show the varietal's distinct characteristics. She also loves tasting new and unique grapes and interesting blends.
While we do focus our blogging on Northwest wines (Washington, Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia), we like wines from everywhere (Californian, Australian and South American wines as well as those we find in our domestic travels).
