Hi there Keith and welcome. To start, definitely take advantage of your location; visit all the wineries in Temecula and taste all the wines you can. I spent a lovely day tasting in Temecula last summer, and I know that Innkeeper and others have been there as well. Give us your impressions of the ones you visit as well as the wines you drink. As you drink more, you'll develop more preferences and more of an understanding.

In addition, you'll learn a bunch in Italy next year just by taking the time to taste different wines and keeping track of what you taste.
