who is the naked grape
 About Ian | Ian's Travels

Our philosophy is simple: A good wine is one you like.  

Just because a wine has a high “rating”, or a high price tag doesn’t necessarily make it a great wine for you.

As wine educators we want to help you discover what you like best.  Being in the wine business for over 15 years has its advantages. 

Because we taste and assess hundreds of wines a year, we’ve done a lot of the hard work for you.  Our Naked Grape “Wine of the Week” picks are wines that we have found to be  interesting, of good value, or are just plain good drinking!
