Beginner's Overview

Wine and grapesStep 1: Why learn about wine?
Life can be lived in a casual way, or plumbed to the depths. We all choose how and where to spend our energy and attention.

You may play music, cook seriously, or tend a lovely garden. Maybe the things you love aren't vital, but they make life richer.

Passion is never wasted effort.

That's why wine lovers learn to taste. We know that the effort we put into understanding and appreciating wine adds an extra dimension to the basic daily routines of eating and drinking.

It turns obligation into pleasure, a daily necessity into a celebration of life.

"Wines that heaven knows when,
Had sucked the fire
of some forgotten sun,
And kept it through
a hundred years of gloom."
— Alfred Lord Tennyson
