[Shades of Blue]

I just recently really got into wine. I'm 33, and have never been a fan of wine. I don't like that "pucker" sensation, and never found wine to be enjoyable. I've stuck to mainly beer, bourbon/whiskey, and mixed drinks.

I got a new job last year and my boss is very much a wine connoisseur. I mean, he is GOOD, or at least appears to be. He bought me a bottle of "The Prisoner" wine for Christmas and it was fantastic. Loved it. It totally changed my opinion of wine and now I have been buying a different bottle each week to try and get into this whole wine thing!

What I've learned so far:

1) I'm definitely a fan of red blends. I tend to like Zinfandel and Syrah blends

2) I like fruity, but not tart and more sweet. But, not ridiculously sweet lol.

3) Just because a bottle is expensive, doesn't make it something I'll like.

4) White wine ain't half bad!

5) If not a blend, I like Pino Noir and Zinfandel. Not too keen on Merlot and Cabernet.

6) I have got a LOT to learn!!!!
