This book contains the tasting notes for our year-long, fifty-two weeks of classes/meetings/wine tastings, which are attempts to put into a fun, social context a "top-down" approach to learning about wine, that is starting in Europe and then describing how these grapes and wines have spread to other parts of the world. Every Wednesday at Six O’clock we offer a wine tasting experience, having previously sent out notes describing the wines presented. Our goal was to not only provide an enjoyable experience to our attendees but also to teach people about the World of Wine. A concerted effort was made to weave into these tasting notes the basic information one would need to appreciate and discuss wines on social/business occasions.
