About Us

We are just wine lovers who want to share our knowledge and opinions of wine. We will focus on reviewing wines easily available to the casual consumer, though we may throw in a few fancy wines on occasion. We will plan on posting at least one review per week and include a recipe of the week that will pair nicely with the chosen wine. Check for current photos and an on-going list of books we are currently reading. We can’t promise that we’ll be able to distinguish between cherry or berry fruit essence, but we’ll do our best to get across our opinion of the wine. As we learn more, you will learn more along with us. We also encourage your feedback on the reviewed wines…we want to know what you think!

Who are D&D?

The Dyars and Duttons, friends and neighbors just outside of Atlanta, GA.

The Dyars

Kelly & Chris have been married for three years now and just welcomed their daughter, Amelia Rose, in July of 2007. While they both liked wine before they started dating, they have really begun to love wine as they explore it together. Recently Chris built a 300-bottle wine cellar to help them with their new passion. Chris tends to prefer Cabernets while Kelly’s current favorites are red Zinfandels. Also, be sure to check out Amelia’s baby food blog as she starts solid foods in the New Year.

The Duttons

An active couple who enjoy mountain biking and running with their dog Sierra, Leslie & Brent have been married for 4 years. They share the Dyar’s passion for learning about wines and searching for great deals. Their adventurous lifestyle has led them on amazing travels throughout the country where they have gained knowledge and interest in food and wine. Both Brent and Leslie prefer hearty red wines, such as Zinfandel and Shiraz. They are currently exploring the wines of Australia and New Zealand, as that is their next big travel plan.
