I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm complicated (like fine aged wine), young at heart with a cynical sense of humor. My quote(s): "So Many fine wines, So Little Time" and "So many nice guitars, so little time to play them all". My passions along with cooking, fine wine cellaring and Guitar collecting is finding exceptional brand name electric guitars (world-wide) that were rarely used by their original owners. I sanitize and get them looking good , set them up and/or do minor repairs on them and tune, re-string and intonate them. When I'm done, I turn them into smokin' hot easy players for the electric guitar enthusiast who wants a guitar "That Plays Like Butter". See my interests section for more on guitars. I also buy & sell wine to collectors & restaurants as well as own an Insurance Agency that specializes in insurance for Business owners. Check out my myspace area where you can hear some of my songs at: www.myspace.com/mlenterprises .

Collecting fine wine is my passion along with cooking and enjoying gourmet food. Jamming on the guitar with friends and selling my killer guitar finds on ebay at www. I also buy and sell fine wine to collectors and restaurants (for buying - must be over 21 yrs. only). ------ My 2nd business and passion is finding great name brand guitars all over the world.
