+--- Thread: GETTING STARTED INTO WINE DRINKING (/thread-15816.html)
- angelz - 07-23-2004
i WOULD LIKE TO GET INTO DRINKING SOME WINES.
I NORMALLY AM JUST A BEER DRINKER AND I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO TRY DIFFERENT WINES BUT I NEVER KNOW WHERE TO START.
I DO NOT LIKE ANYTHING ON THE SWEET SIDE. I GUESS I WOULD SOMETHING MORE DRY. I WAS THINKING MAYBE TRYING A RED WINE
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KEEP THE PRICES OF THE WINES ON THE LOW END SAY BETWEEN $10-$20 IF POSSIBLE?

Hi Angelz and welcome to the board. Normally a newbie prefers sweeter wines but for your tastes I'd reccommend going to the Cabernet, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Zinfandel threads and going back 100 days. This should give you adequate ammunition of things to try. The descriptions given by the tasters should give you the info you need to make some intelligent decisions. Good luck and post on what your impressions of what you drink. WW
