    About wine: good web site, book, Wine w/BBQ, etc...

    I just discovered this section, and thought I’d share a resource for anyone looking to learn about wine, or as a resource when you’re wondering what the heck the difference is between Grenache and Garnacha.

    I discovered Wine Folly (<— link) when taking a couple of wine-related classes at a local college. IMO; Good, unpretentious information for the masses, easy to understand, well presented. Excellent place to learn, or as reference for medium-depth topics.

    The site is run by a sommelier, and she’s published a book or two - I’ve found her book and resource materials really helpful.

    Here’s a link to their BBQ/Wine pairing page - some fun options here:
    https://winefolly.com/tutorial/never...with-barbecue/

    Cheers!!

    (Disclosure: I have no affiliation w/Wine Folley or it’s team - I just like their material. Like AR, they have a helpful, no-nonsense approach. Alongside BBQ, wine is my "other" obsession. I’ve taken a couple of classes, and am fortunate to work part-time at the tasting room of one of Washington’s best wineries. Because life is too short to drink bad ... anything.)

    So why the thumbs down then?

    too much wine?

      Good catch - I actually picked the thumps-up icon choice - I’ll mention to the webmaster that their icon for "thumbs-up" is upside down. Maybe they had too much wine!? Switching to Lightbulb icon.

      I think we need a wine glass, beer mug, and shot glass icon. Enough of us here would greatly appreciate them.

    I got their first book on a whim, ahead of going to Piedmont, Italy for wine. Been hooked on Wine Folly ever since. The new book should ship tomorrow.

      Nice, thanks for sharing. I have been getting into wine recently. Really is hard to know if you are getting a good bottle or not.
