Learning about wine

[Dogwalker]

Gentlemen,
First let me say that the questions that I asked where some that popped into my head while I was having a glass of wine. I hadn't begun the book at that point. I sure that it will answer most of my questions as I read it.
I want no doubt left in anyone's mind that although I have this and other books, I value the opinions of the board and consider myself lucky to be able to be advised and enlighten by you.
I know in my long tenure of employment how refreshing it is to see the excitement in someone who is learning new and interesting things. I would never have believed that the world of wine went beyond the front door of the package store a year ago. It is interesting to see peoples reactions to my new found interest. Some think I'll turn into a wino, other feel that I'll become a wine snob and too good to mingle with them.
What I am finding is an area that covers the world and its history. Although I may never meet any of you, I also am developing a relationship through this medium with a group of knowledgeable, interesting people.
In short, thanks for the information and keep it comming. Knowledge is never wasted.
Regards, Chuck
