We Wish You a Merry and Prosperous New Year

If you love wine but are afraid of buying or even trying one you've never heard of, then come on in and learn what you need to know to explore new horizons. Wine is a yummy way to travel around the world without the need of a passport. It's not hard to expand your palate, it just takes a strong desire, a bit of cash and a lot of drinking.
I didn't learn all this overnight, but I'm hoping to provide a jumpstart, giving you the most basic info that took me 10 years to acquire and will help you step out of your daily wine grind. The difference of how climate, soil and winemaking techniques affects the same grape is a continually delicious mystery. We all have our favorites, but without trying everything, you're definitely missing out.
Since I can't afford to drink great wines everyday, I'm always on the prowl for interesting, well-crafted wines for under $20. This is not as easy as it sounds, but the bargains are there to be had and when I find a good one I'll let you know it.
I hope you'll have fun while you're learning. I know I have.
