Some help buying wine

[VRVixen]

A great way to learn about wine, as anything in life, is by trial and error!

Buy the case at your local discount merchant (I've been finding great Chilean Cabs and Merlots for under $10).

Try one bottle when you get home from the store, another a few months from now. Spread them out over time but see how they change along the way.

In a year from now go back to your local merchant and buy a bottle of the same wine but the next vintage (the year on the bottle). Compare the younger wine you just bought with one of the older bottles from the case you're saving. The differences you sense in that comparison, in part, will be due to their age differences.

I hope this helps. Just remember, in the world of wine there are no right or wrong answers. That's what makes it so interesting.

Cheers!
