Wine isn't something you are born knowing about. Like any other vast subject, you need to learn about it. Sure, there are plenty of books you can read, all offering a different method or approach to gaining knowledge about this vast subject. But ask anyone in the wine industry and they will all tell you that the best way to learn is to taste.  

What do we mean by taste? Yes, having a random glass of wine with dinner at home or at a restaurant can be considered tasting…but we are talking about tasting with intention. Sitting down with a wine, without distraction, and allowing our brains to identify what aromas, colors, and flavors are in a given wine will do more than make you look impressive to your Coor’s Light drinking friends. It will help you to pinpoint styles, flavors, and textures that could be overlooked if you are simply sipping while in a crowd or in front of the TV.  

We love helping our customers build their knowledge around wine. We employee expert Consultants for this very purpose, to help guide your decisions when selecting a bottle. If you are interested in wine and want to take things a step further than just “picking something nice”, we suggest intentional tasting. And we have the perfect way to begin.
