First…why the name “ENOFYLZ”?….it’s the phonetic spelling of the word “oenophile”, which is a wine lover.

As I entered my mid-forties, my love for wine began to blossom, although I may have been a bit late to the party. My wife, who shares the same passion, was the driving force behind my newfound interest. Despite having amassed a sizable collection, we both agree that there is still so much to learn about this fascinating world. While my wife prefers to focus on the drinking aspect, I find myself drawn to the technicalities of wine. However, I’ve learned to temper my enthusiasm when sharing my knowledge with her, as she often teases me for providing “too much information.” To channel my passion in a more constructive way, I decided to create a blog where I can share my experiences and thoughts with friends, family and others keen to learn about wine It has proven to be a fun and rewarding way to continue my wine education, and I’ve come to realize that my love affair with wine is one that will last a lifetime.

I especially enjoy trying new wines, and exploring the wines of the world. I’m very active on CellarTracker.com (over 2,800 tasting notes and counting!) where  I go by the handle Martin Redmond. 

Follow me on Twitter, Facebook,Instagram, and Vivino  for all things wine. As a wino with latent foodie tendencies, you’ll also find food and wine pairings.  Become a fan and join ENOFYLZ Wine Blog on Facebook.

I also love the travel that comes with wine exploration. Wine country is almost always just so beautiful.

I hope you find this experience of learning about wine together as enjoyable as I do.

Thanks for finding me!
