Like a lot of people, I can appreciate a good drop of wine & the matching of food with the right wine. I have to admit that beyond the basics, I do not know much about wine.

In recent years, I have slowly developed an appreciation for white wines. Prior to this, I had dismissed most white wines & stuck with red varieties. I think my avoidance of white varieties was due to being exposed to rather bad, cheap & nasty white wines as a teenager.

I have been lucky having a few family members who have a wealth of knowledge about matching wine & food. They have also introduced me different wines that I may not have considered & it is through their knowledge that I have gained a wider appreciation for tasting new wines.

One of my ongoing goals is to continue to increase my knowledge so I can successfully match a great drop with great food.
