Education

“A person with increasing knowledge and sensory education may derive infinite enjoyment from wine.” – Ernest Hemingway

Wine is not a serious subject. It’s point is to give pleasure and be enjoyed as one of life’s great indulgences. To enjoy wine, all you need is a nose and a bottle of fermented grapes. That being said, the knowledge of how to taste – not just drink – wine, paired with an understanding of different varietals, regions, and styles can bring great enjoyment to the aspiring wine connoisseur and novice drinker alike.

At Andrew Raines – Decanted you will find education resources and articles dedicated to decoding the world or wine, and making the enjoyment of this versatile beverage less intimidating, and far more enjoyable. To simplify wine education, we have divided our resources in two separate categories: “Wine 101” and “Articles”.

In the Wine 101 section you will find various tips and tricks on how to navigate the complex world of wine. The goal of these articles is to educate you on the nuances of enjoying wine, while arming you with the tools to take your enjoyment to the next level.

In the Articles section, you will find summaries of various wine regions, experiences, and events. Many of these articles are dedicated to the experience of wine, rather than furthering one’s knowledge.

Enjoy!
