Winovore is a fresh perspective for those who voraciously consume all things wine.

While there are precious wines, it is my belief that wine in general should not be treated with preciousness. Instead, I aim to highlight this beverage as the agricultural product that it is: sometimes sublime, sometimes simple and pleasant, but always with value. I am passionate about exploring wine’s place in our lives and how the space we create for it is immensely influenced by context and personal experiences.

I look forward to sharing stories about the bottles, regions, people, interactions and cultural connections around wine — with the hope that it inspires you to explore or re-explore your relationship with this unique yet ubiquitous beverage.

Raised on the Mississippi-Alabama state line, Cassidy grew up in a dry county and did not lay eyes on a glass of wine until college.
