About Me

rsdrinks@gmail.com
I'm a writer by trade, so putting down my thoughts on some of the coffees and wines I drink on a daily basis only seemed natural. Living in the San Francisco Bay area provides me with plenty of opportunities to try single-estate coffees imported and roasted by artisan micro-roasters, as well as wines from all over the world. This is an exciting time for coffee-lovers. The Cup of Excellence competitions has brought many amazing coffees to consumers, while financially rewarding growers for producing better quality beans. As cafes and consumers experience these coffees, and shift their expectations of the drink from a cheap caffeine injection to a culinary treat, we will see the coffee industry start to resemble the wine world. Some places already list coffees by country and farm of origin, along with tasting notes, similar to wine lists.
