My Wine Experience Thus Far

Welcome to my wine blog! To start things off I am going to tell you my experience and knowledge of wine.

... Its zero...

Before this semester I have tried a total of two wines. No idea which ones or what they tasted like but one was white and one was red. That was the extent of the description I could give you at the time except that I didn't like the red one very much. After a week in Professor Boyer's Geography of wine class I more than quadrupled the amount of wine I have tried!

This class has really motivated me to get out there and explore the world of wine. Plus I know where to find all the free alcohol now. This past weekend alone I tried 8 new wines and 6 of them were free! The other two were provided by my brother so I guess those were free too, well for me at least. Keep an eye out in later blogs for more information on those and future wines I try (of which there will be many).

I can't wait to see what Professor Boyer has in store for us this semester. I for one hope to learn as much as I possibly can about wine. I would definitely like to know how to describe all those wines I tasted. The descriptions that were given to me by the host all sounded like a foreign language. I felt pretty out of place there among the more veteran wine tasters. By the end of this semester I want to feel like I belong in the wine world and even speak the language.
