Which Wine to Start With

Clement!
Getting familar with wine in your back yard has to be nothing short of the bright side! Wish I had your spirit. Most wine is dry today, so what we need to do is discover which dry wines have either enough fruit and acidity, or additives like oak, to suit our tastes. The nice way to start the wine experience is to begin with burgundy...period! You can purchase a good inexpensive jar for less than $5...and split the bottle for cooking and sipping. Now, burgundy will give you a clue of where you want to be, for now. Neither too dry or too sweet! Simple. Walk into your neighborhood hood shop and simply say...I like red wine, burgundy, but would like something that lasts a bit longer??
