Learning about wine is as easy as drinking a glass and noting whether you like it or not. If you do, note what you liked about it. The more wine you drink, the more you’ll find out about what you do or don’t like. Write down the wines you like, the price (if you have it), and where you had it - this way you'll be able to have it again.
I was in Napa years ago, and in one day we visited six wineries. Note: don’t have wine and cheese for lunch when you’re visiting six wineries in one day. I jotted down which wines I liked on info sheets from each winery; once home, I never got around to putting all my notes together in one handy reference.
The best thing about tasting so many wines in one day was that I found out what I liked (Chardonnay) and didn’t like (oaky Chardonnay). If you can, take advantage of a wine tasting to see what you like.
I like a dry, full-bodied Chardonnay. It’s good paired with cheese, sandwiches, pasta and seafood. Take it along with you to enjoy at a picnic!

Have you tried Kim Crawford's un-oaked Chardonnay (New Zealand)? I prefer the buttery, oaky Chardonnays myself, one of our favorites is Sebastiani (Sonoma), here locally about $10-$11. Thanks!
