I've been heavy into the wine scene for a few years now. I had no interest at all untill I met my wife a few years back. We went to Los Angeles to visit her brother and took a Sunday drive through Temecula and stopped at about seven wineries. I had so much fun that I bought a bunch. A few months later we went to Paris. Drinking wine is unavoidable in France and I quickly became obsessed in learning as much as I could about wine. I started reading "Wine for Dummies," followed by "French Wine for Dummies," followed by "Italian Wine for Dummies," followed by "Windows on the World Wine Course." I attended wine tastings and wine dinners. I travelled back to Europe and went through Burgandy and Tuscany. All I can say is that through all of this, I am still a novice. There is much to learn every day. My palate has developed considerably, but there is so much more to learn.
