Great Wines for Dummies

Larry Lee, president of Vino Veritas, has a far more advanced palette than I do, and is hard at working on continuing up the scale of sommelier certification. But on my end, I'm mostly a dummy when it comes to "good wines," though I'm having a blast learning more.

We had some great friends come over last night for dinner and a movie, and they handed off a bottle of wine to my wife and I with the "well, we know you're connoisseurs, but this should be a pretty good bottle."

But as far as I'm concerned, pretty much ANY bottle that's enjoyed with great friends, IS a great bottle of wine. (and if it turns out to be a BAD bottle, then we all get a good laugh out of pouring it down the drain and opening something else).
