The Wine Scholar Guild ~ How to become an expert for French, Italian, and Spanish Wines

Real story: When in Boston, I was a bit lost, so I asked a police offer, “How do I get to Harvard?” His answer, “Study haaad.”

How does anyone learn about wine? Well, if you spend 25 years in it, you’ll have a great background in whatever companies that employ you. Or, you can just take a crash course, and you’ll gain some insight very quickly. The Wine Scholar Guild is one such program, where you’ll shoot like an arrow and hit your target, faster than my traveling the world for the last quarter century.

As far as I’m concerned, none of us should ever stop learning, and my background can always use more wine knowledge. Not sure about most of you; but this lesson, had it come first, might have taken me in a completely different direction. When I read a press release, my eyes opened quite largely, as I began to drool. This also came to me right after I had written about an upcoming auction: DRC and Pétrus Lead Heritage Auction as Wine Market Continues to Rise, which also had me drooling.
