The Wine Drinker's Education

Alder Yarrow wrote a great piece in his monthly column at Gastronomic Meditations about the 5 stages of the wine drinker's education:

STAGE 1: Red, White, Pink, or Bubbles
STAGE 2: Varietal Schmarietal
STAGE 3: Distinctions
STAGE 4: Depth
  • Vocabulary
  • Winemaking
  • Wine regions
  • Components of taste and aroma
  • Deliberate pairing of wine and food
STAGE 5: Connoisseurship

So, give it a look. The article does a very thorough job of setting up a plan for a person to systematically increase their education in a well planned way.
