Getting Started With Wine

[hotwine]

Welcome to the board. You're in a wonderful location to learn about wine! If you're in Paris, suggest you visit some wine bars and taste, taste, taste. Take a small notebook with you so you can make notes of the wines you like and don't like. If you're in another city or the countryside, ask about the local wines, and taste those. Do the same - taste and make notes. You'll learn quickly. Remember, when tasting, you don't need to swallow.... so you can keep a clear head by using a spit bucket. Hook up with a co-worker who likes wine and who's willing to teach you. And have fun!
