Hello there! I'm Dr. Vinifera, or "Vinny" for short. Ask me your toughest wine questions, from the technical aspects of winemaking to the fine points of etiquette. I hope you find my answers educational and even amusing. Looking for a particular answer? Check my archive and my FAQs.
Dear Dr. Vinny,
I like the advice “Vinny” provides. But why is he a cartoon, superhero-looking character, holding up a glass of wine? Everyone, no doubt, is above drinking age and adult. I find it silly to ask a cartoon character questions.

Dear Marc,
And yet, you just asked this cartoon, superhero-looking character a question. Wine can be so stuffy and serious, I think it’s easier for some wine lovers—especially the new ones—to realize that it’s OK to relax, feel silly and still learn something. Besides, my real face is even more cartoonish.
—Dr. Vinny
