Prologue to a tasting...

Hello all and welcome to Off The Beaten Carafe - a blog dedicated to taking "the road less tasted.” It is our hope to offer you insight into the unusual, small batch, independent, specialty, collectible and rare wines of the world. Proudly, we are a bunch of wine geeks who want to share our passions, musings and adventures with you.

All that we ask is that you have an open mind as we take you through unfamiliar territory. We will show you world's you never knew existed, after all- the explosion of a star is reserved only for those who seek it's beauty.

In fairness, some of us have literally made wine our business, others, well- just like drinking wine. What we all have in common however is this: we are obsessed, with it’s origins and stories and most of all the joys of having a glass with a few good friends.

So please leave your preconceptions at the door and expect the unexpected!

Bottoms Up!
