I've always wanted to learn more about wines, and actually know what I'm looking at when I walk around the aisles and aisles of wine in the liquor store. Right now I can pretty much tell you what is a red and what is a white, but that's about as far as it goes. I've always wanted to have a "wine collection" where I can just pull out the perfect bottle with whatever meal we're having, or can bring a nice bottle to a friend's house.
Well, last night as we were driving to get to dinner, I saw that a liquor store was going out of business (which you never see happening!) and everything in the store was 50% off. So we went a little nuts - OK, I went a little nuts buys different kinds of wine.
I got a couple of fairly cheapy wines (a Blackberry and a Cherry wine, and a German spiced Chrismas wine), and then I got a selection of different reds and whites:
Shiraz
Pinot Grigio
Geweztaminer
Pinot Noir
2 Reislings
Savignon Blanc
I also made sure that I was getting wines from more than just California - I got a couple of Southern Australian wines, an Italian, and a German wine.
What's your favorite kind of wine(s) and what kind of flavor does it have? I'm going to do research online about these wines, but nothing beats personal experience from others.
