I used to be a bit of snob with wine, thinking the majority of people did not know a lot about wine. This is because as a kid, my parents took me around France and Germany on wine holidays, whilst all my friends got to go to Disneyland or something. I am grateful now, for this choice my parents made, it has made me appreciate good wine, but here is what I think.
1. If you like it, drink it. If you like it at room temperature drink it that way, if you like it cold, drink it that way. In fact just enjoy your wine with your dinner.
2. Generally dark / rich food deserves a heavier tasting wine, otherwise you won't taste it.
3. Go out to your local wine store and buy some. If you find a good one, good back and buy 6 or 12 or more of it. And then you have something that you like to keep in reserve.
4. Never buy really expensive wine, unless YOU are going to enjoy it. Buy and drink wine you like.
5. Do not be afraid to try different wines.
6. Do not let any wine snob tell you something else! Let them ponce around telling you about its bouquet and character, whilst you just drink it.
7. A higher price does not make a wine good! Your taste is the judge of that.
