While exploring the wonderful world of wines, don't hesitate to experiment

of notes.


I figure that this adventure will be quite like my previous foray into
cigars ... I had to develop my palate before I could appreciate the
differences and subtleties and ranges of flavors. I'm sure that I'll
come to appreciate drier wines eventually. I'm just dipping my toe into
the world of wine by going with what I know I like now ... but I'm
certainly looking forward to expanding my horizons! And I have been
taking notes so far ... as much as my limited wine vocabulary will
allow.

Thanks to all of you for your advice so far. I think my next step will
be to find myself a nice eiswein this weekend.
