Wine Selection Suggestions
Selecting the right wine for the right occasion can
sometimes be a seemingly awkward or difficult task for
the beginning wine enthusiast. We would therefore like
to present you with a few suggestions which may provide a little more
confidence and enjoyment when choosing and serving your wines.
When selecting wines, keep an open mind
and do not be afraid to be adventurous. Do not view
the subject of wine so seriously it discourages you
from learning and discovering for fear of
embarrassment if something is incorrect. Wine is
best viewed as a hobby and enjoyed.
When assembling your collection, try not to
become obsessed with “Vintages.” Although a chart
can provide itself as a useful tool, generalizations
about a specific year have led more than one
collector to disappointment. In many instances an
“Off Year” will provide a better value and more near
term drinking enjoyment.
The primary guideline to the subject of wine you need to
follow is your own palate. Do not be afraid to make mistakes.
Experiment, discover, but most of all, enjoy yourself and your new
Wine Captain
