Who is Vine Language?
Simply put, Vine Language is about six friends enjoying the good life, and we think it’s worth sharing.
Beginning at home in 2006, Isaac and I managed to transform a simple anniversary weekend of Lodi wine tasting into a full blown passion that now spills into our personal and professional lives, and the journey hasn’t stopped since. Joined by new and renewed friendships, we’ve discovered different roads to travel, reveled in the sound of footsteps dancing to music in our own back yard or on a not-so-far-away island, and shared fantastic cuisine; and all the while a good glass of wine has never been far behind. As watery as those delicious reds and whites flow, they have proven to be the binding glue in our life.
Good Friends. Great Wine. Tasty Music. Delicious Food.

Wine Tasting with Vine Language
The crew at Vine Language tastes wine strictly for fun and not for scoring, although we may throw in a few major accolades now and then. Between six sets of taste buds, we are sure to disagree on just about anything we taste, which, in my opinion, puts the fun in gathering friends together and talking about wine! Enjoy!
Napa & Sonoma Experience...The Grape Escape
Catherine and husband Nick announced to us they had taken a major milestone step in the wine world: moving from Wild Vines to Pinot Grigio; even dabbling in a bit of Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon. We were thrilled! So, with my daughter’s birthday approaching, we decided that a wine weekend spent in Napa and Sonoma was order. Read More...
