About Me

Ali King

Welcome to my corner of the web, where we explore all things wine, food, books, treats, cocktails, and crafts. I’m a lover of many things, and I want to share all of my favorites with you!

I grew up in a home filled with God, sports, creativity, and zero alcohol. From a young age I loved creating things and wanted to be hotel owner when I grew up. I attended the University of Alabama (roll tide!) and got my degree in Small Business Management. To help get me through college, I served tables at various restaurants and absolutely loved it! After graduating, I moved back home and my sister helped get me a job at a local craft beer and wine bar until I got my “big girl job”. When preparing for my “interview” I had to study up on basic wine knowledge such as which wines were red and which were white. I knew nothing about wine! I somehow managed to get the job and was then completely submerged into the wine world. To say I fell in love is and understatement. Eventually, we purchased the little wine bar that was only meant to be a short-term job for me. I’ve now tasted thousands of wines and can also now officially call myself a sommelier. I love hosting. I love cooking. I love crafting. I love reading. And I love helping people find wines they love. Follow along with me to learn a little bit about a lot of things. I really think you are going to like this.
