Difference between a wine geek and wine snob?

[JDubb]

Guess i've got no class, because for me, wine = :barf:
I can tolerate some white wine, but reds taste gross to me. Real bitter.

I think wine is fascinating. There are so many variables and differences within the wines themselves; various grape differences, regions where the fruit is grown, winemakers influence to starts with. Not all whites are the same like all reds aren't the same. I love wine because I am discovering something new in every bottle. I used to think I didn't like Riesling wines until I started exploring them now it is the largest variety in my cellar. There are some rieslings I still don't like but now I know why but didn't write off all white wines. Keep trying wine from all types and various regions.
