First things first...

As a young woman working in the wine industry, I find that people, especially young adults, often clandestinely ask for wine suggestions. Although I am in no way actually qualified to offer in-depth advice (for that, see your local internationally board-certified sommelier), I'm offering this blog for practical hints and tips on finding "your" wines--for anyone who cares to read on.

To begin, three things everyone should know:
1. If you like it, it's a good wine.
2. At wine tastings it's really OK to spit when you're tasting more than two wines. Really.
3. White wine should be served with chicken and fish, red with red meats (beef, lamb, etc.). The latest trend is to throw those rules out the window, but they're really quite good guidelines. Of course there are exceptions (Pinot Noir goes with almost everything), but that's a good place to start if you're having a dinner party or going out to dinner and planning to order wine.

Thank you Lindzilla (http://scriptoress.blogspot.com) for showing me how this is done. You rock.
