Introduction

		It is easy to assume that someone or everyone knows more about wine than you do. But as much as others may know about wine, there will always be something about wine that you know that they can never now; and that is what you like. Your taste in food and wine is unlike anyone else's taste. Your taste is not better or worse than anyone else's. Your palate may develop and your taste might change over time and with experience, but it will always be exclusively and uniquely yours. So read the wine reviews and find out what the experts say, then decide for yourself if your taste agrees with theirs. You don't need to know much about wine to enjoy it, but I believe that the better you understand wine, the more you will enjoy it. I've designed this Primer to provide a basic understanding of wine and the customs that surround it.
There are no standards of taste in wine... Each man's own taste is the standard, and a majority vote cannot decide for him or in any slightest degree affect the supremacy of his own standard. ~ Mark Twain
