Until recently, I thought of wine to be the drink of class and for special occasions. In my experience those were the only circumstances that I had seen wine be consumed. It probably stemmed from the fact that my dad mostly drank beer and my mom was a "wine hoarder", having plenty of unopened bottles on a rack in our house.
Now, I definitely perceive wine as a more common drink. Since, I've been in college it has become trendy to drink wine over other forms of alcohol, so much so that I have friends who try to drink it exclusively on a Friday night before heading downtown.
I haven't drunken much wine to form a sold stance on it. Though, I like the idea of wine in the more classic sense: on a relaxing Wednesday evening or complementing a nice dinner. That's what I want to get out of this class. Knowing wine and how to use it to. Whether it's over business or on a date or even just to experiment with different flavor profiles.
Another goal for this class: is to be a "wine snob" among millennials. Briefly mentioned above, a lot of people my age love trends and wine drinking was definitely one of them. Myself, on the other hand hate blindly following trends yet I want to enjoy wine. Thus, my enrollment in this class! I want to be able to walk into Kroger, like everyone else, and grab a bottle, like everyone else, and know what's in it instead of shrugging and saying "sounds good."
Let's Drink!
