Stop Whining about Wine

Have you ever found yourself in a restaurant saying, "How the heck do you pronounce that and what do I drink it with?”

Ah! First thing, don’t ever run away from something you can’t pronounce. You'll be missing out on a delightful experience. If you something you'd like to try on the wine list, just point to it and show the waiter, saying, “I’ll try this.” He or she will probably be happy he doesn’t have to pronounce it, too! If he’s a sommelier (wine server in upscale restaurants), he’ll say, “Certainly, the VEE OWN YAY, excellent choice, sir!” Don’t be put off by the language or the pretensions of some people in the wine world. You’ll miss fine experiences if you do!

So, no more whining about not knowing your wine. If you decide you like something - find out more about it. A great place to start is at wineloverspage.com . Not only do they tell you about the wine, but they also tell you how to pronounce it. Love it!

I'll just usually ask how to say it!
