About Me

Among many things I am, a winemaker is one of them (besides being cynical and jaded). I went to school in Niagara, but really was trained by an Italian Master Winemaker with 47 years experience. My friends list is small and kept to those people interested in having a friend(and it is manageable). I moved into the area to take over from a Master Winemaker. I served with the Special Forces (I learned alot of things there good and bad) before changing careers.I enjoy all things sensual and enjoy the pleasures of being whether light or heavy. The "stick" in my pictures is used to start all of our wines, it comes from an ancient celtic ritual...long story... In general I'm quiet when you first meet me,I turn into a chatter box there-after.I believe in Karma and being kind to people( listening of course to that which propels me). I find myself to be very spontaneous, living the moment.I have been lucky enough to live in Victoria (a stones throw from Seattle) in the early nineties, and to experience that vibe.I love music!,my family has always had a deep appreciation for music,from it's roots in Ireland. Tracey only started dating me because she loved horses, I grew up around horses and was fit from my military time.(according to her). She also loves Vampires and thinks she should of been one (she is a little freaky, that is part of what makes her special).There is no info about our personal lives here, because Tracey likes it left private and I must respect that(besides its my space not our space).We have been together for 7 years.... and counting).I enjoy friends and good people who like to have fun. I love what I do, alot of people would argue, but I think I have one of the best jobs in the world.If you want to ask questions or make a new friend, just ask...Tim (And if you've read this far, you don't have ADHD and at the least, are a bit curious...cheers).
