Intimidated by Wine Choices No More! (Giveaway Included!)
Have you ever felt... umm, well, "less than adequate" when it comes to choosing a wine for a dinner party? Or even more so, ordered what everyone else was ordering, because, well you just didn't know enough about wine?
I have.
The extent of my wine knowledge was white goes with chicken and red goes with beef. Anything else was completely foreign to me. People who knew so much about different wines amazed me. They always made it seem like they were, well, born with the knowledge. It was fluid to them. Yes, I think I was a bit jealous.
I received a very intriguing email the other day about a how-to guide when using your senses to taste wine.
Two words. Kevin. Zraly.
This man is a genius when it comes to explaining wine through lamens terms.
Windows on the World Complete Wine Course, is an incredible book, no wait, course to really understand wine. This is definitely not your average wine guide. This a an actual wine course.
How long do different wines last once they are opened? It's in there.
What's a fortified wine? It's in there.
Want to know what the best values for your money are? It's in there!
Definition of certain wine terms? Yep, it's in there too.
After each section, there is a detailed questionnaire for you to answer. These questions are meant to really lock in what you've just read.
This is a very detailed course, as it even covers my favorite wines, Canadian Ice Wine, which can never be found in any of the stores around here in the Northeast.
Want a little preview? Kevin has come up with several short You Tube videos to help you along.
