Can’t really taste wine without friends, meet the staff and guests!

Staff

Nick – Founder / Admin

Frustrated by the lack of wine variety at home, Nick decided to strike out to find new, cheap wines that could be truly called values.  Nick is the primary writer, scheduler, purchaser, taster, email-er, and runner of all things First Pour Wine.

Guests

Greg

The first guest, and the only guest to break a bottle on set, Greg prefers cider to wine.  While [supposedly] no longer directly involved with filming, Greg remains involved advising Nick on whatever wayward idea he may have recently come up with, and an occasional beer or cider review.
