Description:We at VinoVerve are passionate about wine, but we come from different perspectives. Rory is the Wine Director at David Burke's Primehouse in Chicago. Kevin is an entrepreneur who knows how to live it up on an expense account. After moving to New England, Marguerite has become a stranger in a strange land and has decided to learn their ways by trying all their wine. And Gretchen? She is a mom, cook and chauffeur to teenage girls and all-around dork who likes the history and adventure that comes in every bottle and also the way it makes that dull throb in her head at the end of the day go away..... We don't think we know more about wine than anyone out there. We are all still exploring and learning and having fun doing it. Will you help us?
