Help This Dumb Beginner

[wondersofwine]

I too have two bottles (on order) of the Banfi Brunello ('97 vintage)for which I paid about $50 each. But I don't buy wines for everyday drinking in that price range and did not start out learning about wines with such pricey items. (I started out with German Rieslings while working in Germany and got some real bargains--tax-free at the Class VI stores). I hope you will visit is-wine and take advantage of the tastings and classes they offer. The proprietor is known for finding good wine values to recommend to the customer.
