Wine This Week with Scott Leak
Welcome to Wine This Week with Scott Leak!
This channel is mostly for me, but you may enjoy it as well if:
A. you want to join me as I expand my knowledge and learn a bit more about all the different wines the world has to offer and
B. you are a business professional who sometimes struggles with things like wine etiquette or ordering wine at a restaurant with coworkers or clients.
I am not a certified sommelier, and I don't work in the food and beverage industry. I simply have a passion for wine, but like many people, the more I learn, the more I realize how much I still don't know. I enjoy learning about wine and I certainly love drinking wine.
After decades of drinking wine without much effort to hone my palate, this channel is where I log my acquired knowledge and tasting notes each week as I work through the various wines of the world. I invite you to taste these wines with me and share your comments! Cheers!
