One of the best ways to learn about wine is to mix reading and trying. There's no way to become successful in any aspect of the wine industry without tasting the wines you're studying. The combination not only allows you to wow your friend when you can tell one wine from another simply by taste but to create an "experience" when pairing wines with foods and elevating the taste of both.
