Wine is without a doubt the single most complex and pleasurable beverage known to man. Yet this complexity is also what prevents many from ever experiencing the pleasure. The staggering amount of different varietals and vintages—all compounded by the multitude of different growing regions—can be overwhelming.

If you’d like to simplify some of this complexity, please take a look at the following six “lessons.” While they won’t qualify you for the next Master Sommelier exam, they will give you a basic understanding about what to look for and how to really appreciate that next glass of wine—whether it’s a $7 Sauvignon Blanc, a $20 Pinot Noir or a $100 Bordeaux. After all, isn’t that what’s it’s all about?

The Wine Vault and Bistro would like to share some basic wine lessons with you so that you may learn more about how to choose and enjoy the wines you love.
