I do it more for dabbling to learn about wine & I probably drink more than I sell. I really enjoy wine with dinner so it's been nice learning which are good pairings.

Is this why some wines really don't agree with my wife? I would love to learn more about wine. On our trip to Africa, we used a sommelier at every meal we could and man, did they know their stuff. Made everything so nice. A $500 bottle of wine with the wrong food tastes like utter crap. A $20 bottle of wine with the right food is magical. I do still have my taste for wine sans food (Caymus, Stags Leap Artimus, Shafer 1.0). But they don't always taste good with a lot of foods.
So, after all that yammering I did, where can we get started on this? We both love wine and food and want to learn more.
