Overview
About Me
Left an IT career for wine retail and wine writing. Not surprisingly I have wine in my home in abundance (but moderation is advised). However, IT talks are also very appreciated in my home.
If you are somehow involved in wine industry, you should definitely write me, please.
You will also be extremely welcome if you are interested in such places as local historical sightseeings (say, remote castle ruins and abandoned churches) and such activities as hiking, kayaking and so on: I guess I have plenty for you to offer.
I'm far from denying private property and even considering myself a leftist, but I have strong sympathies to anarchistic ideas of self-organizing communities of any type and adverse impacts of a (particularly, the) state. (If you work in wine trade or production in Russia you almost inevitably end up like this, you see).
I'm a positive, open-minded person, although I hate tyrants of any kind.
Also being fond of practical shooting, I'm an IPSC member.
If you guess that we will have something to talk about and do together, do write me and do come staying. But if you merely consider my place as a hotel free of charge, you may refrain from addressing me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
