Hello!
I am desperately seeking some wind advice. I really would love to start getting to wine and fine a particular wine that I would enjoy. I am totally new to wines and don't know much about them. As a matter of fact, the only time I have even drank wine is my "drinking" days in college. My first impressions of wine was that it was bitter and extremely strong. Often, wine tended to hurt my stomach because of maybe the bitterness or sweetness. So in other words, HELP! I need some recommendations on what wine I should begin trying to see if I will enjoy wine drinking. I love fruity, sweet drinks normally but not anything drastic. Please let me know! THANKS!

Hi Ale and welcome to the Wine Board. Try an '05 Nouveau Beaujolais which were released last week, and can now be found anywhere. Brand is not too important. Walk into any wine store and ask for some Nouveau. They will run ten bucks more or less. That is truly wine 101.

I have acid reflux and used to find that almost all alcoholic drinks gave me a burning sensation. Since I started taking a strong anti-acid (first by prescription and now over-the-counter), I enjoy wine without the burning feeling. The Beaujolais is a good idea. There are also some entry-level Rioja wines that are fruity and not too acidic. Ask a wine retailer to recommend some wines that are low in acid and tannins.
