A little White...

Yet another welcome to the wine board!

Don't be afraid to experiment with different varietals - especially if you are spending $10.00 or so.

There is no way of knowing what you really like unless you jump in feet first.

If you can arrange a little party with friends, ask them to bring a bottle. Have one bring Riesling, another Pinot Grigio, French Chardonnay, California Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, etc...

It's the easiest way for you to define your own palette which is very important.

If you have snacks you will see how the wines actually interact with the food. High acid wines (Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio and some French Chardonnay's) will go better with greasy foods like butter or cream sauces or cheese.

Buttery Chardonnay's will go better with meals such as a Turkey dinner.

It's a really fun world out there and I hope that you are willing to explore it.

We are always here to help if you get stuck or don't understand something.

I also would suggest that you scroll down on the main page of this board and look at the wine reviews. There are thousands of personal reviews, good and bad, submitted by real people.
