Basic Wine Appreciation

I was going through some old videotapes this past weekend, looking for something for a video project that I was working on, when I found some of my old "wine appreciation" series video masters. These were originally filmed in 2003, but I realized that with the advent of YouTube, it would be quite easy to publish these videos for the world to see, so I got them all prepped and online earlier today. I know a few people who watch these are going to get quite a laugh when they see me in a suit and tie in one of the videos, but I guess I'll have to live with that.

The original intent for this project was to be able to present inexperienced wine drinkers with the basic information about wine that would make them comfortable in selecting and assessing different brands of wine. Learning about wine is actually fairly easy, and tasting different brands can obviously be pretty fun, so it was a worthwhile project to put together. And filming the project was pretty fun too, with Koren's help.

The videos have basically been broken down into a series of beginners, intermediate, and advanced wine education topics. The basic videos are all available online right now, with nine separate segments totalling just over an hour in length. We haven't quite finished filming the intermediate and advanced videos, but we did all the prep work for them, so hopefully I'll find some time to make those videos available soon too. Please click here for more detailed information about what is being presented. Or if you don't need the written reference material, just grab a bottle of wine and watch any of the videos listed below!
