Need help identifying Year of Wine

[Innkeeper]

Sounds like you a going down a sensible trail on your wine adventure. My favorite periodical is "Wine & Spirits" followed by "The Wine News." If you explore this site some more you will find lots of good information on specific kinds of wines in the second section that you are at the bottom of now, and more general info on the Novice, Wine & Food, and Best Buys threads. You will also find many recommendations for the "Dummies" books on wine, as well as many of Andrea Immer's works especially "Great Wines Made Simple."
