I just started waiting tables and found myself somewhat at odds. The location I work at is an Italian fine dining place. I was wondering if anyone knows where I can go to get a little insight on the basics of wine so I can become familiar with the terms and lingo of the wine industry. So I can save myself some embarassment from my wine ignorance.

C4Now, welcome to the board. If you go back 100 days on the Novice board you'll find all the info you need. WW

Hello clueless4now. When waiting tables please don't forget that women know a few things about wine too. Don't just direct your attention to the men at the table. Usually a woman can do the tasting for the table and order a wonderful wine and not make you feel as uncomfortable as a man. Just a suggestion.
