My wine blog writer journey begins here…
Welcome to KristiWineNerd! I’m your resident host and wine blog writer, Kristi Mayfield. I couldn’t be more excited you’ve chosen to spend a little time joining me on my journey into wine.
I’m not your typical wine blogger in that I don’t work in the service or distribution industry. In fact, I’ve never even worked in a restaurant or bar. What I am is a passionate geek for all things wine, I’m a WINE EDUCATOR! Bottom line, I love dirt, I love vinesm I love wineries, I love vintners, I love WINE.
Driven by my passion for wine, this blog allows me to turn it into a platform for educating and inspiring others to take the fear out of wine. Additionally, I’m the FOUNDER for a super cool wine education program, WINE WIZE, and an online wine course designed for everyday people- enthusiasts and professionals alike (check us out at DOMSOM.us).
My mission is to bring you every day tips, tricks and insights into the magical world of wine. Wine tastings, wine regions, wine gadgets, wine education and wine podcasts – whatever format you choose – you’re invited to join me on my nerdy adventures to break wine down into everyday language for you to enjoy!
Cheers!

KristiWineNerd Blog
As a wine blog writer, I will share my honest and unfiltered thoughts on various wine-related topics and content.
Wine Adventures posts explore my favorite wine related gadgets, tools and wine-related obsessions in short and sweet diatribes and everything in-between.
My Wine 101 posts are deep dives into the world of wine, wine education and exploration (yes, I do have to taste wine in order to be in the know!).
In Wine in the Glass, I’ll entertain you with posts and short videos of me tasting wine with the experts – Somms, restauranteur, connoisseurs, wine shop owners and more! I know an Oscar is just around the corner!
