Adventures in Wine

Where did you grow up?
Southern United States.

What was the first time you remember drinking wine?
Cheap mimosa on New Year's Eve as a teenager. First taste of decent wine was KJ Chardonnay in my very early twenties, back when it was more apple/buttery, and less tropical fruity.

When did you start to like wine?
I'm still relatively new to wine. Gradually moved into it when I moved into working in upscale dining; made acquaintances who also love wine. (Maybe the pivotal point was two years ago.) Went through Gallo's wine tutorial; studying for the CMS introductory sommelier exam.
