Maybe you’re a seasoned drinker of that one particular brand of Riesling. Maybe you’re a total wine beginner whose never tasted wine in your life. Maybe you’re here to determine whether I have any authority to be educating people on this subject. Either way, you’ll find something akin to help here.
If you’re looking for a truly basic understanding of what wine is, how it’s made, how to tell what geographic region the grapes were grown in, or how to identify the age and method of aging, go find another website. All of that stuff can be fun and interesting, it’s just not what this website is all about. I recommend Wine Folly’s Beginner Guide.
