Wine is a hobby, no?

My hobby site will cover the wonderful world of wine. I chose this topic mainly because I love wine and want to learn more about it.

Austin is a great city for wine lovers. As the city grows, more and more wine bars have popped up. Austin wine bars offer something for everyone, ranging from casual/low-key to classy/posh. Most tasting rooms in Austin do a great job of creating a fun, inviting experience for people with all levels of wine experience. Many lean towards educating customers, helping them become more and more comfortable with the wine tasting experience with each pour :) Austinites are also very lucky because we're so close to many Hill Country wineries-there are over 25 to explore in the area! My favorite is Dry Comal Creek in New Braunfels.

I would like my site to be a place to share some of what I know about wine and be a resource for those interested in learning more about the topic. I plan to include the following sections in my site:

• History of wine tasting
• Major varieties of wine
• Calender that includes upcoming wine events
• Links to related sites
• List of local wine bars

I look forward to sharing and hearing about your wine experiences and recommendations!
