When you first get into wine you find that there is a lot to know. What's the difference between Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc? Why don't French wines have the variety on the label? How can a guy describe a wine as "poopy", but rate it a 95? Well, fear not, there are a lot of really good resources online for people interested in learning about wine.  Here are just a few of them -

Wine For Newbies 2.0 – One of the first resources I discovered when I got into wine was the Wine For Newbies podcast that Bill Wilson puts on. Specifically, there was a series of podcasts that he did that were really a recording of a Wine Appreciation class that he taught at Indiana University South Bend. There was really a lot of information about the individual varieties, and he got into some great info about how to decipher some of the French and German wine labels. Mr. Wilson also has a book that he offers on his website for $20 that will present his wine course in one easy to use publication.

Wine Library TV – One of my friends at work got me turned onto @garyvee and his video podcast Wine Library TV.  Gary Vay ner chuk, has to be seen to be believed.  Watching his reviews of every imaginable kind of wine has really helped me with ideas for things to try, as well as some great ways to work on developing my palette (anyone want to lick rocks with me?)  All of that, and it's just damn entertaining.

Cellar Tracker – Cellar Tracker is a great resource for keeping track of the wines that you have in your collection, as well as a community tool for tracking your tasting notes on wine.  Pretty much any bottle of wine that you can think of can be found on Cellar Tracker, and you can get access to community member's notes on that wine.  I've been able to use this site to find out what other "normal" people think about a wine before I purchase it. 

Vinogusto – Vinogusto.com is a great site to get review information and food pairing suggestions.  There are TONS of specific suggestions on what kind of wine to pair with all kinds of food.  Probably one of the most specific tools that I've seen for this.

There are lots of other options out there, and I will probably post some more in the future, but I think that these are a great start.  Have fun with your wine education, no matter where you are right now.
