Over 5 years ago, I started First Pour Wine with a simple goal; Help educate people about the basics of wine for less than $10. Since then, the site has grown dramatically, and I can’t say how much I appreciate each and every single of one of you for reading, watching, and commenting. For those of you who’ve been kind enough to help with the videos, the site, and the art, I can’t say thank you enough. It’s been a blast, and I’ve loved every second of it.
A few months back, I began having some medical issues, and after a series of tests, part of the prescribed treatment has been to give up alcohol for the next few months. Having asked the doctors opinion about continuing the site (as I spit most of the wine), the doctor recommended against it. The sublingual absorption would still occur he said, and in his opinion, it wasn’t worth the risk.
Based on this, I’m going on hiatus for the next few months, and hope to return closer to holidays. That said, I still appreciate everyone that’s taken the time read, and hope one day, to be able to pick up where I left. For those of you still able to imbibe, I’d like to remind you of two things:
- Always remember, consuming alcohol should be done in moderation.
- Savor and enjoy; keep learning and sharing with those you love.
Cheers,
Nick
