What are you drinking?

[lizardbrains]

Okay, sorry for the crazy subject line! It gave me a laugh!!! :-)

I just read your top 10s for the year, and I'm struck by something. Do most of you drink non-American wines?

When I first started drinking wine (3 years ago), I was so overwhelmed. I found you all here (love ya!), read Wine for Dummies (on your recommendation - thank you!), and decided to start with American wines b/c they seemed easy to understand (ie: Chardonnay is Chardonnay, so then I just have to decide which "brand" of Chardonnay I like - I was/am a total newbie).

Now that I know what I like in the U.S., maybe I need to step out of my comfort zone.

I really liked some South African wines that IK shared with me (thanks IK!). So, I know that there's a whole big world ready for me to step into! I guess it's kind of like getting off the bus on your first day of school.

Where do I start? I am happy in my little bubble of American wines - it's easy! But help me realize the greater potential!

Thanks!,
Elizabeth
