Giving up beer for wine

Wine bottlesI have to admit that I have never truly enjoyed drinking beer. I mean, I can drink it every now and then with food that makes you want it but in general, I never felt like I really wanted to have it. I drink beer when I go out with friends because they all do it. Among men, it is always safe to talk about how much fun you have drinking beer.

Well, I am a bit older now and I don’t feel like I should allow peer pressure to determine what types of alcohol I drink. So, I decided to reduce the amount of beer that I drink and substitute wine in its place. Unfortunately, I know very little about wine.

As a result, I think it might be a fun exercise to start a wine of the month type experiment. Every month, I will make the trip to my local wine store and select a wine that I have not had before to sample for that month. This way, I will both enjoy drinking and learn a new skill so that when I go to an expensive restaurant and I am given a wine to sample, I will be able to make a sound judgment instead of just pretending to know what I am doing.

Let the games begin!
