So I enjoy wine. Particularly reds. As previously mentioned, I do not live in a cultural mecca and thus do not have local access to those who possess vast quantities of quality vino information. So I have resorted to scouring the internet for information after a recent trip to the vineyards of Long Island peaked my interest around different wine varietals. It has been challenging to find a site that gives information and tips for the "wine novice" and one that may suggest wines that are affordable and easy to find (any suggestions please comment!). So it has been a relatively fruitless effort at educating my brain and palate on the differences between say a pinot noir and a shiraz. So my question to the blogging world is....What is your favorite type of wine and why?
