Wine Education

The story of wine is fascinating, not only because of its effect (both positive and negative) on people, but also how its history began and continued on a parallel track with mankind. Many of us are wine lovers, but may not know as much about wine as we want to know.  Now, you have the opportunity and the means to learn a great deal about wine by spending no money, but just a little of your time to read about the facts, as well as the myths and emotional issues associated with wine.  .  My best recommendation to begin your wine education journey is to read Wine 101, offered by Professional Friends of Wine (PFW). I believe Wine 101 provides your best foundation for further study.  Please do that now by clicking on the PFW link.  Then, return to this page to review the other options to take your wine education goals to a higher level!
