Tannins?

I do appoligize for my knee-jerk reaction. It wasen't the refference to Wine for Dummies that I took exception. I think that the Dummies series of books are very good. I do have Windows 98 for Dummies, and will purchase WFD soon.
I read into your post that you thought that I was expecting the Wine Board to hand walk me through my wine experiense.
I have only been serious about wine for a couple of months. I have been more targeted at finding different quality wines to try, than the what's and the how's of wine. I have read the first few chapters of the afore mentioned book and it led me through the process of wine making and has answered many of my questions. Altough I realize that I have only begun.
As I have said before, I believe that this is a great website. And I look forward to the benifits of the wealth of knowledge presented by the Wine Board.
