I don't even know the right adjectives to describe it, so bright? Does that work? <BR/>Also the music here is kicking! Upbeat yet classy this is the place to be. But don't take my word for it, I'm biased.Hilary Batteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17379733128452993947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648374498406854611.post-67537430700823725952008-08-23T08:26:00.000-05:002008-08-23T08:26:00.000-05:00Some of the wine shops around the city offer fun i...Some of the wine shops around the city offer fun introductory classes - that could be a good place to start. I know that they have something in the Chelsea Market once a month or so, and the Chelsea Wine Vault has informative tastings every week (if not more often). Morrell in Rockefeller Plaza has basic introductory classes as well as classes more specific to each region/grape. Otto's classes are great, because they usually have food (yes, my heart is in my stomach), but they focus on Italian wines only.<BR/><BR/>If you pair some very basic knowledge with lots and lots of wine-drinking to find what you like, you'll look like you know what you're doing with a wine list when you're out to dinner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
