Difference between a wine geek and wine snob?

I am really just saying that you probably don't like other wine b/c you have not been properly exposed to it. White wine is fine, I love white wine, but it's harder to fuck up white wine than red wine. I have been to a bunch of tastings the last few years, and some of the most expensive or rare wines, I am not a huge fan of, but some of the lower priced ones I thought were delicious. It's not what people tell you when it comes to wine, it's what you like, but if your not exposed to the right opportunities, you never really get a good chance to make an opinion. Yellowtail, Barefoot and Layer Cake are mass produced wines full of chemicals, so it tastes like bloody urine and probably would lead you off the path of red wine loving.

Yellowtail sucks.

You're right on the money @Pete. I think wine is very cool and enjoy something in nearly every bottle I drink. It is all about trying it and finding that you like than finding a good wine shop with a knowledgeable staff that can point you towards wines that fit your palette. I can only tell you what I have had and enjoyed but you may totally disagree depending on the food you are drinking the wine with or if you are drinking it as a cocktail.

Keep trying it, there are many grapes grown in many different regions of the world all giving the wine it's own characteristics... like them or not.
