Project WIno: COMPLETE

I have done it!!  I have consumed 12 different wines!!

I had a great time learning about wines.  The suggestions from the Go MIghty community were awesome.  After perusing WineFolly, I printed out the info graphic showing all the different types of wine.  And I have been dutifully marking them off, one by one.  

The great thing about this project is that I have found a couple of wines I really like (Vinho Verde, Pinot Grigio, Reisling) and a couple that I will drink, for the health benefits (Pinot Noir).  Also, since I am, at my heart, cheap about things I don't understand, most of these wines were really affordable.  Like $10-$14 a bottle affordable.  This may change as my wine taste develops.  It just seems ludicrous to start drinking wine and go straight for the expensive stuff.  

The latest installment of Project Wino features a Rioja and  Chardonnay.  The Chardonnay was the store brand from Costco.  Someone bought it and left it at my house.  It's about as good as you would expect from a store-brand white wine (read: not good).  The Rioja was a bit fiestier than I like.  But it will do.  Again, I am not going to get drunk drinking it, but I envision myself drinking more.
