Getting Started With Wine

[Wine in a Can]

Thanks for the responses!

Well I am not sure how much of a difference it makes but I don't currently live in Paris. I live in the South Western part of the country in a city known as Toulouse.

I have been to one vineyard since I've been here. It is costly and time consuming and both of those are resources I don't have so I'd like the supermarket and dinners with friends to be my main discoveries.

As far as coworkers go. I have one who is very into the wonders of wine, and have asked him for advice and stuff. He has never really answered me and only tells me about a book he read when he was working in a factory that taught him everything he needed to know.

Perhaps I was a little bit unclear in my first post. It is not so much coworkers bringing me wines, but picking out a bottle from an extensive list at a nice restaurant or something.

wondersofwine, I will try out at least one of your suggestions tonight and tell you what I think.

Thanks for all your help, I knew this would be a great resource!
