Introducing Me

Hello! 
My name is Blair, I am a junior at Virginia Tech, and I am very excited about this semester because I am taking Geography of Wine. The main reason I am taking this course is because I have no experience or prior knowledge of wine. I have only tried a handful of wines but I am looking forward to expanding my palate. 

What I am most excited to learn about the most is the different between types of wines, and what wines pair best with types of food. I have only briefly tried sips of wine here and there and have never just had a glass and enjoyed it and thought deeply about it. As of right now, I don't have any preferences to tastes due to lack of experience, however that is what I am looking to get out of this class. 

I grew up in Roanoke, Virginia, and there are a few wineries around but I have never explored them. My parents aren't wine drinkers so I have never gotten the urge to just relax and try wines. Well that is until now. Over this course I am going to really dive in, and challenge myself to learn as much as possible while having fun!

Thank you!
