“A good friend and a glass of wine…that’s pretty close to perfection.”
Let’s Take the Pretense Out of Wine and Just Have Fun!
You’re in the middle of the wine section, completely overwhelmed and intimidated with so many choices.
The pretty label is like a siren calling out, but what if there’s another way? A better way to KNOW it’s going to be something you like?
Hey there. I’m Kyle, AKA The White Lion and I’m here to show you the way!
Wine Should Be Fun, Not Intimidating
The best way to learn about a wine is to taste it.
That’s pretty basic and you’ve probably done that before, whether locally or at wineries across the country.
What if wine tasting is an experience?
Consider me your Wine Sage. For almost two decades, my wife, Christi and I have been creating wine pairing dinners for corporate empire owners, international speakers and winemakers.
At each White Lion Wine Experience, you will enjoy a mini version of these wine dinners with me as your personal guide and small bites by Christi. Instead of just tasting a series of wines that all run together after the second or third pour, we’ll:
Learn what to look for on the bottle (beyond the artwork)
Determine what the heck you’re tasting in the wine by itself
Taste it with perfectly paired small bites
Learn what those fancy terms like terroir mean by actually experiencing it on your own palate (not just listening to the uppity sommelier’s opinion)
Understand WHY you’re tasting WHAT you’re tasting
And most importantly, help you find what you LOVE, building your personal wine profile with each tasting.
And know this, no matter what, there are no wrong answers when trying wine!

About “The White Lion”
Welcome to the White Lion Wine Experience! I’m Kyle - husband to Christi, Private Chef and founder of Real Food Sanity, father of two sons in their 20s, and someone who thoroughly enjoys a glass of wine. As you read in the opening quote, “A good friend and a glass of wine… that’s pretty much perfection.” The only thing to improve upon this is food. In my opinion, that’s pretty much the trifecta of life.
I didn’t grow up around vineyards and wine. In fact, it was pretty much the opposite. It was a small family farm in the Bible Belt where even the thought of wine or any alcohol was pretty much tabu with the assumption the wine written about in the Bible being very good grape juice. Knowing what I know now, I can’t imagine sitting at a table with friends, food and really good grape juice!
My first foray into wine was shortly after I graduated from college when the leaders of the company I worked for gifted each of us a different bottle of wine for Christmas. I received a bottle of red wine. I’d heard red wine and steak were a must so I dove into the deep end. I’m glad it was just a couple of sips. I’d have drowned in the pool. Red wine was not love at first sight or taste….
