Wine Tour
Ain’t no way around it: Man has to be able to navigate a wine list, but there’s no need to become a master of wine here, so put down that 54-piece aroma kit, my son. An above-average fluency in grape varietals, wine regions and food pairings will really put a man at ease at the dinner table, and the best way to achieve that is full immersion. Organize a wine tour (or get a package deal) of a region that interests you and be sure to include both major producers and smaller, family-run vineyards. Eat the local food. Taste the full portfolio of wines (the word terroir will start to make sense).
Go here: Napa and Sonoma, CA; Columbia Valley, WA; Rioja and Basque Country, Spain; Burgundy, France; Central Valley, Chile.
