MEET STEPH

A curious sipper.
Just like you.

Hi! I’m Steph, a Washington, D.C. blogger who loves wine.

I live in Washington, D.C. with my French bulldog, Duck Duck.

By day, I’m a tech lawyer. By night, I’m diving headfirst into the world of wine—writing, sipping, and sharing everything I learn along the way.

I love vintage clothes, costume jewelry, and wines across the whole spectrum—from crisp and clean to bold and broody. After a COVID-era break from my wine studies (long story, don’t ask!), I’m finally back to my usual thinking and drinking.

I learn best by writing, organizing info, and using visuals and metaphors to make things stick. This blog is my way of pulling all the scattered wine wisdom from across the web into a more sippable form.

I’m not a sommelier—just a curious sipper who believes wine should be approachable, delicious, expansive, and most of all, fun.

No gatekeeping, no overwrought tasting notes, and no dropping wine buzzwords like they’re a secret club password!

Here, you’ll find:

The vibe: thoughtful, but never snobby.

Thanks for following along—grab a glass and stay a while!
