Hello and welcome to my wine blog!
My name is Charles, and I am a senior in Materials Science and Engineering. I personally do not have any prior experience drinking wine. My mom has always enjoyed a glass of wine during our family dinners. I always thought that it was "weird" to drink wine so often but realize that it is quite common and that it pairs well with certain foods. Now that my sister is 21, she will drink wine with my mom whenever the opportunity presents itself.
Actually, I have had one prior experience with wine. I do not know if it counts, but here it goes. When I was 10 years old, I drank a sip of wine during communion at a new church that my family was attending. I was unfamiliar with what the contents of the cup were and decided to take a sip as everyone else was doing so. Now that I think about it, it was only the adults who were doing it and I do not remember why I thought it would be a good idea for me to do so. All I remember is waking up an hour or so later back home.
I hope to learn how to drink wine in a social setting and understand the different types of wines that are available. This is a great opportunity to be able to know more about the culture of wine and use it in a social setting wherever that is with peers, friends, or family. I think that this is also a great opportunity to gather with other classmates in a social setting outside of the classroom where we can learn about a new topic together not pertaining to our current studies.
