looking for the right wine

[Brom]

You could take a class, but everybody loves an autodidact.

You have started the right way - buying and trying wines. You will find as you progress that this is one of the most expensive hobbies you can indulge in, because the only way to keep going is to keep buying.

I do recommend buying wine books. There are several very worthwhile ranging in price from affordable to extravagant. A nice little primer is "Oz Clarke's Wine Guide" at $14. He re-ups it yearly.

Keep buying and trying. Read a little about the wines you like and the grapes that make those wines.

Do as suggested above and buy different makers of the wines you like, but buy unfamiliar wines too. If you can, always buy 2 bottles, one you think you like and one unknown.

There is so much more. Best advice, keep tasting. Look for wine tastings.
