Jill Remensnyder's formal introduction into the world of wine was in 2006 when she worked as a writer and producer on the food and wine pairing show, "Northwest Bounty." This opened up the door to trying new wines and leaving her wine comfort zone- ordering the same wine as everyone else because she was afraid to ask questions. Last year Jill produced a fun educational DVD for people just beginning to build their knowledge of wine titled "Get Into Wine." She currently lives in Portland, Oregon where she's spoiled with amazing Oregon Pinot Noir and continues to work in film and video.

Jill R Thinks:

A fair restaurant corkage fee is: 

$10

A tell-tale sign of a wine snob is: 

Those jerks who wear shirts that say "wine snob." On a serious note, people who get more caught up in the wine scores than the the actual wine in the glass.

The wine region I most want to visit: 

I'm game- throw a dart at a map and point me in the direction of the nearest vineyard.

My "wish list" of wines I want to acquire soon: 

I want them all. I'll need a bigger cellar.

My biggest wine pet peeve: 

The person who wants to discuss in-depth the characteristics and personality of the wine, how it dances across their tongue, reminding them of a funny thing that happened on the way to Napa. We all know "that guy." Don't be him.

My favorite wine quote: 

In victory, you deserve champagne, in defeat, you need it. - Napoleon

My dream wine to one day taste or own: 

TBD...

The best wines I have ever tasted: 

Let me come back to this one in a few years- I'm still pretty green.

The people with whom I most often enjoy wine: 

Anyone who likes to indulge in spirited debate and lively conversation- whether it be friends, family, or strangers I corner in restaurants and tasting rooms.

The last wine I had that I absolutely loved: 

Hands down, the 06 Arterberry Maresh Pinot Noir.

What I think of the movie Sideways: 

It is what it is. Fine, I'll say it... I don't like Sandra Oh.

My thoughts on the 100 point rating scale made famous by Robert Parker and emulated by seemingly everyone: 

Next question, please.

My wine travels have taken me to the following wine regions: 

All over the Napa Valley, NY Finger Lakes region, Oregon's Dundee Hills... but most of my travels are to the wine aisle at the local grocer's.
