询问任何葡萄酒专亚搏电竞家,学习葡萄酒的最佳方法是什么,他们会告诉您尽可能多的品尝。但是从哪里开始呢?为此,在哪里结束?几乎有20,000个不同winesfor sale in the U.S. at any given moment.

To save you from getting completely overwhelmed, here’s a 25-bottle starter guide to wine wisdom. You’ll need a budget of roughly $1,000, which sounds like a lot, but you don’t have to buy all of the bottles up front—one a week will suffice.

If you are keen to know the geological origins of Portugal’sDouro Valley,Google的朋友。这项练习的目的是为您提供一个心理库,您可以随时尝试尝试新葡萄酒。亚搏电竞In fact, maybe the thing to do is to think of this as a game rather than a rigorous course of study—like The Game of Life for wine.

Not bad, right?

18. Merlot
电影已经13年了Sidewayscame out, and yet, thanks to it, some people are still locked into the idea that Merlot is...bad. Or, at the very least, uncool. Dispel this prejudice with a layered, world-class example like the2017年胡椒桥Walla Walla Valley Merlot($ 50)from Washington state.

17of23
20. Malbec
阿根廷的门多萨(Mendoza)地区在讨价还价的马尔贝克(Malbecs)中名字叫,但那里也有令人印象深刻的,年龄较大的瓶子。在像富人这样的葡萄酒上投入一点亚搏电竞2017 Bodega Aleanna El Enemigo($ 45)了解这些葡萄园在安第斯山麓地区的潜力。

23. Natural Wine
Natural wine is a flash point for controversy. The term refers to wines made with minimal human intervention (little or no sulfur, no industrial yeasts and so on). Sometimes they’re wonderful, sometimes funky, often both. Test out the exotic2020 Arianna Occhipinti SP68 Bianco($25)from Sicily.
21of23
24. Aged Wines
As wine ages, it trades in direct, fruity flavors for more subtle, savory ones. Find a reputable retailer (such as K&L Wines in San Francisco or Millesima in NYC) and splurge on an older red like the cedary2019ChâteauGrand-Puy-Lacoste($ 95)from Bordeaux.
