Introduction I think I was born into the wine world. The name "Denise" literally means "follower of Dionysius" (Dionysius, as we know, is the Greek God of Wine) or "God of Wine." Like I said - born into it. Now stuck on it. But, unlike some followers, I believe in the fun of wine: finding it to be an every-day beverage, filled with laughter, a spot of magic, and making it work while on a budget! Questions? Comments...
