A First















I've not really had an interest in wine up until recently.
My whole family collect wine, they have tried their hardest to educate me but met with not much success.
I'm not sure what switch was flicked but I've started trying white wine here and there.
Of course, I seem to favour the more qualitative (ie more $) white wines, especially sparkling wine!

And so, one weekend I found myself buying my first bottle of wine....it didn't occur to me that buying sparkling wine would mean I have to drink it all before it goes flat! I suspect after trying a few glasses, that there is a reason the prosecco I have been tasting dining out was so good - quite pricey per glass!
