I think to truly appreciate the human experience requires many understandings, certainly the enjoyment of wine is among them.
Years ago, I joined a fun troup of wine lovers entitled Knights of the Vine. They further introduced me into the lore and rich history of Wine… in particular, California Wine. The founder, the late Norman Gates, brought me into the brotherhood back in 1979. Although I have not been active in the organization for quite some time, I found it educational and enjoyable.

Another way to get started is to try something new now and again, sign up for periodic wine purchases, and possibly buy a book or two on the subject.
Then there is the story of Jean Montidier… aaaah, that’s for another time.
