The wine Bible ~~ to be exact. : )
Quite a volume! I cracked it open last night and it's entertaining! Here's the tidbit I learned yesterday: when you start your wine-tasting "journey", you should first locate a good liquor store.

[Well well well, aren't we easy-going? ; )]
Further, to determine what kind of wine you like, you need to do the red/white 4-bottle-in-a-row per type kind of deal. (sorry too lazy to type - please let your imagination to fill in the gaps... )
