any wine fans here?

My wife and I are always trying to get into wine, but as much as we try we just can't. We're not even sure what we like, are there any good wines out there for "beginners"?

Maybe we're just beer people, I dunno.

You know I've recently gotten more into wines over the past year or so.

If you haven't already, try to finding a low cost wine tasting in your area. It's a good way to sort of find out what you like and don't like.

I'm starting to like Shiraz. It's an Australian wine and you can get a good bottle for around $10-$15. Not bad.

There are plenty of people who like to whine around here.

Your best bet would be to watch the newspapers for wine tasting events. I took my wife to one 3 weeks ago. I don't like wine personally, but my wife wanted to do it. We learned alot. Some liquor stores have wine tasting days. Its best to try before you buy because wine can be expensive.

Wine's alright. I like pinot grigio. But in the end, I always come back to beer.

I try to enjoy a cocktail or some wine every now and then, but I almost always take a sip and then wish I ordered a beer. It's just what I like, I guess.

Be ahead of the curve and jump on the beer-matching train now. Some high-end restaurants are starting to match beer with their food much like they already do with wine.

If you really want to get into wine, most people I know started with whites, just get a few bottles see what you like.
