Chastity Valdes All about American Wines & Wineries. Chastity Valdes is an American wine blogger when she's not traveling the world on business, she publishes one of the least pretentious blogs on the Web. It's wise and outspoken, as in a post about the state of wine tasting today. Many wine blogs are the passionate side project of a wine enthusiast just crazy enough to spend their days off. As I explore the ever-expanding wine universe, I make it a point to share my discoveries and express my opinions, primarily through my wine blog.
