The Wine Chick: I am a well-educated, literate, well-traveled, adventurous, and reasonably fearless woman. I am a classically-trained singer but listen to rock (and a lot of hard rock and heavy metal). I wear gigantic earrings. I wear a lot of black. I love sparkly jewelry and hair flowers and corsets but I also love my combat boots. I fight for what I believe in. I speak French. I love sex. I have been told I am tough but really smart and therefore demand respect. I am hedonistic and unapologetic about that. I am a powerlifter of some ability. I’m a little on the loud side. I love dirty jokes. I have an obnoxious laugh and I don’t care if it irritates people. None of my perfume collection smells like cookies, but all of my perfume collection smells like it belongs in a harem. As a result of who I am, some of my wine descriptions may be a little, shall we say, unvarnished. If a wine reminds me of a powerful memory or something hedonistic, I will tell you that. If I don’t like something, I will let you know. I have synesthesia, so that crossed-senses influence will show up in my reviews. I will never dumb anything down when I’m writing, but I also hope to make wine accessible and relatable.
