My Experience with Wine
Hello, my name is Sean McCall and I am a senior accounting and finance major at Virginia Tech. My experience with wine is not very long. I am a law abiding citizen so I of course never drank wine or other types of alcohol before my 21st birthday, except for the wine at church on Sundays of course. Now since turning 21 I have drank some fun looking wines that I saw in the grocery store, wine at dinner with my parents, and occasionally wine that my girlfriend buys. However most of the time in the past when I was drinking wine I did not care to look at the label, except to see the flavor and percentage of alcohol. I'm hoping this course can change that.
Now for my current preferences with wine, keep in mind I have not had very many different kinds. I like a sweet wine with fruity tastes. My favorite wine I've ever had was a sweet mango wine from pacific fruit vineyards, sold at Aldi. I'm not sure where that ranks on the "wine charts" but I'm pretty sure its not very high. I have mainly drank Moscato in the past and have not gone too much into other types of wine.
I'm hoping to learn a lot during this course given my very limited knowledge of wine. I'm hoping to broaden my horizons and try a lot of new types of wine and try to figure out what I like and what I don't like instead of just sticking to Moscato all the time. I also hope to learn a little bit of the history about wine and how it's made. I've already learned a little bit about some of these things and we're only 1 week into the course! I'm really excited about this class and can't wait to learn more.
