Hopefully, you’re now feeling a little smarter when it comes to wine. You can talk some talk and you’re ready to put all this newfound know-how into action. What now, you ask?
TASTE LOTS OF WINE.
Like I’ve said before, nothing—no book, no person, no website—can replace the value of tasting lots and lots of wine. Building your library of tasting experiences is the single most important part of your education, and this chapter contains instructions on the best ways to do just that. The following is my take on the best stuff to read, drink, and do next. This chapter offers guidance on attending wine tastings and events, visiting wineries, starting a wine tasting group, and hosting wine parties, plus diligent research via homework six-packs and additional reading to keep you thirsty.
