Mission Statement-I am here for you

Welcome to the Poor Boy's Guide to Wine!!

I'll start out by telling you a little about myself and why I have decided to take on the responsibility of educating the average man or woman about wine. I am by no means a wine connoisseur but I’ve been exploring wine for a couple years now and think that I have a good grip on the basics. At the same time, I am the average person who does not have the wallet to purchase the hundred dollar bottle of Bordeaux but still wants to enjoy the best the world of wine has to offer. I usually pick out my wines from the local supermarket or liquor store and do my best to find something that will be both economical and enjoyable.

Now for my mission statement as promised in the title. Have you ever wanted to learn about wine but were turned off by snobby so-called wine experts, high prices, and the wine language that might as well be Greek? If so then this is the place for you.

Wine is not just a delicacy that is reserved for upper class society. It is made to be enjoyed by as many people as possible. Believe it or not, you don’t have to be an expert or max out your credit cards just to be able to enjoy a good bottle of wine. Many great tasting wines can be found in the most unexpected places and can also be found for around $10 to $15.

I’ve decided for the good of the masses that I along with my fiancé will sacrifice ourselves and sample as many wines as we can so that you will get a good amount of reviews to work from. I know, I should be given a medal, but don’t worry about me. I’ll do my best to explain things in layman terms instead of the endless amount of adjectives that have been created by the wine enthusiast. Hopefully through this blog, we can explore wines together and integrate ourselves into a world that we thought was never possible. Enjoy!
