I Love wine.....I Love Food....I only wish I had the metabolism I had when I was 20 to burn off all the calories....
I have been in the Real Estate and Mortgage Banking business for the past 25 years. I am currently an associate Broker in the Potomac, Maryland area....15 minutes from downtown DC in the westerd suburbs. Itwas only a few years ago that my wife said she was convinced that I only worked as hard as I do to support my wine habit.
I have been writing reviews now for 5 years, and have been asked to assist in wine selection for Washington, DC galas,weddings and large functions. It is my dream to somehow make my avocation, my actual vocation.

My other love is high-end Audio. Tube amps, SACD music and a wonderful listening room. Sitting with a bottle of wine, listening to Diana Krall, and sharing with good friends is Nirvana...
I am originally from New York (Bronx then New City) and went to college in Niagara Falls (Niagara Univ.) and Olean (St. Bonaventure Univ.) I proudly keep my Irish passport which enables me to travel within the EU tasting wines without waiting at customs. Ahh the advantages of dual citizenship!
I have a beautiful wife (Nancy) and 2 beautiful girls (Sean 13, Brighid, 10). I live in the Washington, DC suburbs, and love to discover the places to eat and drink wherever I travel.
Feel free to drop me a note if you are visiting the DC area. I can make restaurant and Winebar recommendations, and maybe even let you know where you can find some free tastings. Go to my site to e-mail me. Read my reviews too! www.WineGent.com Cheers!

Come enjoy Alaska sometime and we'll have a wine lovers' dinner! You haven't enjoyed a glass of wine until you've enjoyed it while viewing the most beautiful place in the world. :)
