Wanted to say hello....

[I call it maize!]

I have just recently become intrigued with the "whole wine scene" for lack of a better description.
I am a bit overwhelmed at the moment by all the available information out there on wineries, varieties and vintage's so please excuse my ignorance, but hope to get some down to earth basics from you guys and gals. I look forward to interacting with, and learning from, all of you.
