Personal Experiences with Wine

     I am a long time lover of wine. It is my favorite type of alcohol. I find it classy and satisfying to the taste-buds which is very lacking in other types of alcohols in my opinion. I have watched many individuals in my life enjoy a glass of wine every now and then, and at that time I was very naive about the subject. I did not understand how many varieties there actually were. I just saw white and red so I assumed they all tasted the same between the two. This, I now know is not the case. There are so many varieties and even that of the same category of wine tastes differently based on grapes, process, and location.
    As much as I admire and love wine, I have not had that many experiences with it. I was almost afraid to try different wines. I usually was sticking to Pinot Noir or Cabernet Sauvignon because that was what I was used to. I was afraid to expand. I not too long ago started drinking Pinot Grigio which I feel now is quite amazing! I am now working on expanding my horizons even more. 
   I have been exposed to many business conferences, and now I am going into the same field for my career that I was exposed to then. My job will require that I am able to pick out an optimal wine and be knowledgeable of the subject. Of course that is not the main point of my job, but it will come in handy to know. The individuals that have the position that I want are always the ones picking out the wine for the tables. This is something I have always admired. I am excited to explore this mystical magical elixir.
