About US

---

Welcome to our site about everything wine! From red, to white, to sweet, to dry, bubbles or not, and don’t forget about Rosé – our quest for magnificent wine is insatiable. Come along with us on all our epic adventures – we love to travel too, so no destination is off limits. 

We’re a couple of Midwestern guys – Tim from Chicago and Jonah from Minnesota (Bemidji, MN to be exact – but who really knows where that is 🤪). Tim has drive and focus to take on the world. (Can we say Type A personality to the max?!) With a background in finance, his passions are cooking, travel, and of course...wine. Jonah, with the medical background remains cool, calm, and collected. This could be from all the CrossFit and cycling he does. For both of us, wine is always there as a welcomed retreat after a long day – we’ve all had those days.

We met in 2010 while living in Phoenix, Arizona and were inseparable since. We began traveling to Temecula, California to escape and slowdown from our hectic lives. During these trips we fell in love with wine country. Our mutual fondness for wine grew along with our relationship. On a trip to Paris, France - the evening of January 22, 2012, as we watched the lights of the Eiffel Tower for the first time, Jonah got down on his knee and asked Tim to marry him. He said “yes” and at that moment Tim proceeded to pull out a ring for Jonah. (Swoon!) We both planned a proposal for the same exact moment. This confirmed we were destined for each other. 

As our love for each other and Temecula grew, it was only appropriate for this to be the location for our wedding. We began the task of planning a destination wedding in California from Phoenix, until job opportunities presented themselves and we found our way to Orange County, California in 2014. On November 15, 2014 we were married at Mount Palomar Winery in Temecula. The bond wine has on our marriage keeps our passion and interest alive – not only for wine silly, but each other too! Living in California has given us access to many different wine country regions all along our state – practically in our backyard! This magnifying our thirst for more. Which brings us here to Tipping Bottles! From Southern to Northern California, from the Pacific to the Atlantic, and around the world - we will share our reviews of wine, food, travel, and everything to make you tip those bottles. We’ll even throw in a bit of our award-winning personalities and sense of humor for you – our Bottle Tippers!

We hope you’ll join us on our voyage as we make memories one bottle at a time.

Cheers!

Tim & Jonah
