Dezel Quillen: Some people write poetry, I sip it. Engineer by the day based in NOVA who blogs and tweets about the appreciation & enjoyment of wine. I founded myvinespot.com in 2006 to share my experiences. I also enjoy photography and rocking out to 80s metal and other classic tunes. Thank you for visiting and please come back again soon.
