My name is Patrick Alexander. Born and raised in England, I got married and raised my children in France but have lived in South Florida for the past forty years.

Among other things, I write books and have taught classes on various subjects ranging from Marcel Proust to wine appreciation.

I have recently celebrated my 80th birthday - much to my own surprise - and, having enjoyed so much luck and happiness during my life, I have created this website as a portal to my world before I leave it.

Books and bottles, words and wine - and me.
