Chardonnay, Merlot, and Cabernet?

[Georgie]

Hello Jeannebelle and welcome to the board. For starters, Chardonnay is a white wine and the other two are reds. I recommend you purchase a good basic book on wine. The two that are often mentioned on this board are Great Wines Made Simple by Andrea Immer, and Wine for Dummies. I have both of those and find them to be valuable references. You can also print out the wineguruchgo's sizeable post under Help I'm Wine Blind in the novice thread. It describes just about every grape that's grown! Keep reading the questions, answers and tasting notes on this board and you will get a basic understanding of different wines.
