Sampling
different wines is the only way to improve your tasting
ability ... A
basic wine education may be gained by browsing the
various areas of this site. There is no substitute,
however, for the actual tasting experience.
We suggest My Wines Direct for a nice selection of wines at reasonable prices.
For
information on tastings and other wine events scheduled
all over the USA, visit Local
Wine Events (Central Valley section below) and Wine
Events Calendar.
Robin
Garr's Wine Lovers Page has
a monthly free, interactive wine-education feature
where anyone can learn to taste wine in a friendly,
supportive environment where no answer is wrong.
If,
after reading some of our articles, your interest in wine
has peaked, shame on us for boring you and we hope
you enjoy your Coca Cola. If, however, your interest is
piqued, you might enjoy owning your own copy of our
favorite wine reference book, the Oxford
Companion to Wine,
compiled and edited by Jancis Robinson.
(Clicking either the link or
the bookcover will take you to a new window at Amazon.com,
where you'll be able to purchase a copy at a substantial discount!)
Professional Friends of Wine
has several other recommended book titles to add to your wine
library. Click here to

"I
