need a wine guide 101

Websites, in no particular order:

Books, roughly in order of my preference:

Oz Clarke: Introducing Wine

Karen MacNeil: The Wine Bible

Robert Joseph: French Wines

Chris Sherman: The Buzz on Wine

Kevin Zraly: Windows on the World Complete Wine Course

Joseph Delissio: The River Café Wine Primer

Gaither & Brecher: The Wall Street Journal Guide to Wine

John Doerper: Fodor’s Wine Country – California’s Napa & Sonoma Valleys

The Oxford Companion to Wine

Thank you for the leads!!

The one big omission IMO from the list of URLs posted by Kirk-O-Scotland is wine-pages.com. In particular, there is a mini wine course on this site that would seem to meet your needs.

Thanks Steve; it was an omission of ignorance. Hadn't seen it before but I have now added to my list.
