It's all geek to me!

However, I didn't really like wine until my late teens. Then I started drinking more white wines and moved to the reds later on - I think this is how it is usually works for most.
It was later that I learned how to appreciate red wines - just like my parents. It is fascinating how your taste changes over time. I wonder if I am now at a level that I will stay on or if I will learn to appreciate other wines as I grow older.
