The Famous Dr. Miller Wine Tasting Group
![]()
Welcome to my wine website! This started out as just a place to post wine tasting notes and pix for the above wine tasting group, but after posting a few other events, it just took on a life of its own. Enjoy! That's why I do this.
Oh, this website was named by a server at Jimmy's Fish & Grill in Long Beach, CA who said, "So you're The Famous Dr. Miller Wine Tasting Group!" Well, yeah, I guess we are.
