What is VineSugar

VineSugar.com is an online portal dedicated to helping people understand everything about wine by providing valuable information without the snobbery.

In the Beginning...

On a family trip through Sonoma and Napa Valley, Ryan's love for wine flourished with each winery visit. The struggle he found was remembering which wines he tasted and all the facts about each wine. When searching the internet, he found information spread across various horribly-designed websites in tiny nooks of the net. Frustrated, he began collecting the found data of wines he was tasting and jotted some personal notes down all the while publishing them for the world to enjoy. Thus, VineSugar.com began.

VineSugar.com set out on a mission to make it easy for wine drinker's to not only find information on their relevant search but to open up new ideas and offer unbiased knowledge to the industry. Too long has the wine industry been viewed only for the elite and high-class... it's just grape juice after all. We want people of all ages to feel comfortable with wine in any situation.
