what i learned in wine class : )

I'm writing down my tasting notes from wine class this month. That way, when I'm out, I'll know what to pick up and what to avoid! I loved this class because I was able to taste great wine without committing to them (in case they were awful). With George teaching the class, I knew they'd all be great, but who wants to buy an $85 bottle on a chance? I missed the first week because Gray was in the hospital. Guess I'll have to do some HOMEwork.
