About Me

JoyoftheTable.com, is a wine appreciation and education Web site and the brain child of Tonya and Russel, a husband and wife team who have decided to share our love (or dare we say obsession) of wine, as we take our appreciation to the next level.This site is for those who, like us, enjoy wine and have a passion to learn more about all aspects of wine. We are new to the world of wine and excited about this venture, which will be a learn-as-you-go endeavor. As we experience both old and new world wines and learn about everything from growing, to harvest, to wine making, to great buys, and the great wines of the world, you'll learn too! Plus, we will share our travels and recommend lodging and restaurants, as well as great wine adventures both in the United States (including our home state of Pennsylvania -- a region to watch, as stated in the Wine Bible) and abroad.We also share great resources that we've come across to assist you in your quest to enjoy the vino and become more savvy (not to be confused with snooty!). We have links and host our own tasting blog. So come pull up a chair and join us at www.joyofthetable.com.
