I'm relatively new to wine, as in college I was mainly a beer guy. I started drinking wine mainly at business dinners, as I was usually the youngest at the table and didn't want to be the only one not partaking in the wine that was ordered. I've spent quite a bit of time in California this summer, visiting family members who are big wine drinkers. I visited a few wineries in Napa and Sonoma. I have to say that I really enjoy wines from Niebaum-Copolla. Very nice quality at very reasonable prices. I'm a big fan of the 2000 Diamond Series Merlot.
I hope to learn more about wines through this site, and maybe meet some other enthusiasts.
thanks
