The beginning of the Journey

So here I am living in Ontario as my husband, David, is going to school to become a professional wine maker. He's actually in the oenology/ viticulture co op program at Brock, but nobody knows what that means, so we'll say that he's learning how to make wine and grow grapes.

I've never really loved wine; I've never really loved alcohol actually. I know that may sound a little strange. It seems that almost everyone loves some kind of alcohol. Therefore in order to support my husband, who I love dearly, and not seem like the complete idiot that I am when it comes to wine I have decided to go on a quest. My goals are to learn to love and appreciate wine. Even if I never LOVE the way it tastes, I hope that I will at least gain a greater understanding of what goes into a good bottle. Knowing that I will most likely be living in a 'wine world' from now on I think that it is due time for me to start figuring the whole wine thing out.

I figure that with a husband telling me countless facts and information about grapes and wine, not to mention wine books and magazines lying all over our house, surely it can't be that hard for me to pick up a few things.

Thinking about blogging, I think it would be neat to look back a year, or two or more down the road and see what I've learned and how I've grown in the world of wine. Only time will tell.
