Learning about Wines

I don't drink at all. Not  beer, not whiskey.....not even wine. But when I started on these cooking adventures, I know I will have to learn about wine soon and I'm really open to that. A great wine would only compliment an equally great meal. My family doesn't use wine in cooking so I've never tried a dish which has wine in the recipe. I don't know how a dish with wine taste like and I want to explore these recipes.Who knows? I may or may not like them.

I found a great chicken recipe which calls for dry white wine. So, I visited some online wine clubs to read some information about white wines. I guess its better to buy wine online mainly because they offer more information about their wines plus a 100% money back guarantee if you are not satisfied with their product. And since they spend less with marketing, you know that what you get are good quality wine for less.

I am a newbie on this wine thing. Once I get my hand on a good white wine, I know I will be taking a gulp or two just to see what it taste like...heehee

There are some health benefits to drinking wine in moderation.
You may want to start with something not so dry to see if you like it. Beringer White Zinfandel is a nice wine...inexpensive yet quite good. The pink of the wine actually comes from the grape skins that are used in the proccessing of the wines. Serve it cold.
We also use wine in cooking and it is a good way to use up an opened, unfinished bottle.
Another idea is to go on a wine tasting tour. You can try several wines without breaking your budget and many are priced around $10.00 to taste 5-7 wines.
Good luck. And if you click on the button for Nat Decants on my blog, you will find some great info.
