My main goal in taking the class is to refine my knowledge
of wine such that:
(1) I learn what ‘other’ wines I like besides sauvignon blanc,
barbera and merlot (though I’m actually happy that I at least have these in
mind when I go anywhere and when someone asks what I like).
(2) I understand the business opportunities and challenges
of the wine industry given that I see it as being an exciting industry in which
to work.
(3) I better learn what regions I prefer in terms of wine,
given that I love to travel and it would give me more reason to go explore those
areas that I have not been before. Plus,
of course, it would help when I’m considering which wines to order – whether while
I travel or when I’m here at home.
(4) I understand which wines (varietals, regions, etc.) go
well with different types of food
My interest in wine has, to date, been entirely social. The contexts in which we typically drink wine
are celebratory in some sense or another (at dinner with family or friends it’s
about celebrating the time together; when traveling it may be about exploring something
new we haven’t yet experienced; at special events it’s about toasting the start
of a new life, etc.). With this in mind,
I feel like knowing more about wine could only add to any of these and other
experiences.
