Welcome to Emporium Nostrum!

If you are here is because like us you love wines! I imagine that you also ask why we created this website, and why we think that we know about wine? Well, we are going to tell you a little secret first; WE ARE NOT EXPERTS IN WINE! You read it right, we are not experts, we are probably like you. We just love wines, whites , reds, rose dry, sweet, etc.
We created this website to help people like us understand the basic about wine. There is a lot of people with good intentions writing about wines, giving their opinion about x or y wine. Others called them selfs experts in wine and even score the wines according to their opinion, and that is fine. There is nothing wrong with it, as long as when you buy the wine you also like it!
Danielle (my lovely wife and I (JJ) started in the wine world around 1999, when with over almost 80 pounds overweight I started to have heart issues. On those days, living in Brazil , a doctor suggested for me to start eating healthy, loose weight, workout, stop drinking alcohol, and all those good intention but not so appealing recommendations a doctor give you for your own good (sounds familiar?). Until for my surprise, when I was already to the brink of crying out, he said the magic words, drink wine! I was totally astonished when I here him saying that, drink wine. Well, I left his office and on the way home, we decided to put everything in practice for my own good! So you probably guessed right, first stop was the supermarket to buy WINE!
So like most of us, the first time that we try to buy wine we found hundreds of bottles with different names from different countries, regions, wineries, etc. And that is what brought us here. To help you understand a little more about the process of selecting wines, to learn how to pair wine with food or simple to enjoy a glass or two of a wine according to your taste and palate.
In here we will bring to you the opportunity to get wines that to our opinion and after tasting those with other friends, we consider are a good deal for the money. We worked a deal with different vendors, retailers, wineries and brokers that allow us to extend the opportunity to you to acquire wines that are getting into the market and are worst to get.
We also, give you information regarding accessories essentials to have at home to enjoy your wine, how to storage wines, cooking ideas, a blog for your comments to share with others, a extensive vocabulary commonly used in tasting and describing wines, history of wines per country and their grapes, and even travel ideas and recommendations of places to visit and how to find wineries that the same ones that write and called themselves experts visits.
We ask you to enjoy your journey in the wine world, and remember is all about your taste!
Salute,
