  Hello all, My name is Bruce Furaha. I'm a senior in Chemical Engineering and a fan of good wine and bread. I like to learn about what makes good wine good, from the region where the grapes are grown to the techniques the wine is prepared with. I want to learn more about all things wine and connect with you all. Don't hesitate to reach out with some wine suggestions.  Cheers!

It is very smooth to my palette. I'm very much looking forward
