Greg Wine lives with his husband Robert Zargaryan in Sacramento, California.

They have been together for 26 years after meeting at the Los Angeles Gay Rodeo.   

They moved to Sacramento 16 years ago from Los Angeles where Greg was a restaurant manager and a dietitian.   

Greg is now a retired clinical dietitian from UC Davis Medical Center, where he was promoting healthy nutrition and preventing malnutrition in patients with Head and Neck Cancer. 

 In retirement, Greg assists his husband Robert, a Realtor, and his clients with design ideas to maximize potential in buying and selling real estate.
