Need resources for selling wine

[dustinyo]

hey all, i just got a new job as a server in a 4 star french restaurant. it's been going well, except my knowledge of wines is pretty limited. what i would like is some reccomendations for any books and/or DVD's that would help me in being able to decribe wine more accuratly, explain the difference between different wines and sell them effectively in the restaurant. i've searched amazon, but there are about 5,000 choices, and every one has great reviews, and bad reviews, so i'm a bit lost. my hope is to be able to try as many of the wines we carry as possible, but i really don't know what to look for. obviously selling wine helps my tips dramatically, and makes my managers very happy, so i'd really like to be able to do it.

thanks!
