Wine Basics - Learn About Wine

Wine has been around for thousands of years, and for a newcomer wine can seem very intimidating. Really, many people in the world drink wine simply as a healthy, enjoyable daily drink. Many people make wine in their own back yards out of the available fruits and berries found there. Wine should not be intimidating or pretentious. It should be something you enjoy for your own personal taste preferences.

The best way to learn about wine is to dive in and start tasting some! Learn for yourself which wines best suit your particular palate. Here are helpful pages to get you started, and as always, email me if you have any questions! I'm here to help!
