I remember the first time someone tried to convert me into a red wine drinker. I was just getting into wine and was loving my rich California Chardonnays and New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs. A friend of mine passed me a glass of deeply hued, incredibly dry and tannic red Bordeaux and said, "This is what great wine tastes like," as if I weren't already enjoying a great wine.
Since then, I have taken it upon myself to explore as many styles and regions as possible, but at the time, I was not ready for such a dramatic stylistic leap.
