New Wines

I always look forward to trying the new wines and spirits that come into the
market each year. Usually we start seeing new wines being released around the
first of the spring. California’s wine industry for the most part will release
new vintages during this time. I try not so much to compare to last year but
rather focus on trying to just see what this year has to offer. Varying
conditions in wine-growing regions affect quality, supply and prices. When
you find a wine that you like it is sometimes hard to venture out and try new
ones. Even though they may change in some ways we still are more comfortable
with the familiar. Maybe it's time to start that wine or supper club you have
been meaning to. Get with one or two of your friends and try to meet just once
or twice over the next few weeks and go to new restaurant or just sit on the
patio and sample a new wine that you have never heard of. It can be the start of
a wonderful relationship. New experiences are what makes the world go round.
