Wine Noob
Posted by David | Filed under Mini Post
I am a wine noob, I am not afraid to admit it. I have no idea what I am looking about when I stand in the grocery/liquor/wine store, staring at the shelves/racks of wine.

I like to think that the number is something you deal with by having a process/procedure in place depending on how many you want/have to include.
