Steve De Long is a great guide to have by your side in the wine world, because after all, it can be scary, overwhelming and complicated place.

If you're on any journey, it's important to know where you are going and have a map to help you stay the course. Steve can help you do exactly that. He makes some of the finest wine maps in the industry today.

Funny thing though, I didn't meet Steve because of his wine maps initially. I met him because of his Wine Tasting Notebook. Before I learned about the Systematic Approach to Tasting Wine from WSET and Deductive Tasting from the Court of Master Sommeliers, I used Steve's book to track my first tasting notes in the wine world.

Beyond maps and tasting notebooks, Steve is also the creator of the Wine Grape Varietal Table, which is like a Periodic Table of wine.

So, if you're wondering how your passion or crazy idea might intersect with the wine world, you need to listen to Steve's interview.
