One of my friends learned a lot about wine from a wine appreciation class at university years ago. I've picked up a lot about wine just from practice. I ask about wines when I'm at a restaurant where the server or bartender seems to know his/her stuff. I compare what I've been told with what I taste, and I file that information away as knowledge I chat with friends to compare experiences. I've also picked up a lot about wine and wine craft from visiting wineries -- admittedly easy for me as I live not far from Napa, Sonoma, and other wine regions.
