Hi everyone! My name is Makenna and I’m a senior taking Geography of Wine! I have not had much experience with wine (or at least nice wine), but in the past year or so, whenever I would go to a restaurant, I would order a glass with my dinner. I also grew up seeing my aunt obsess over wine every Thanksgiving get-together. She would go around asking everyone if they wanted red or white and would also plan when to uncork the red wine to let it “aerate”, which to this day I still have no idea what it means. This is what sparked my interest in wine and the motivating factor to why I decided to take this class.
I would say I’m more of a white wine drinker, but I also have tried some red wines I absolutely LOVE. My go-to wine whenever I’m out is Saviougn Blanc, but that's mostly because it’s the only wine I have really been introduced to which makes it the safe option. I have also tried some Moscato in the past, but sometimes that is too sweet for me. I’m looking forward to learning, and being introduced to, more wines from this class so when I do look at a wine menu it's not like I’m reading a different language.
One of my favorite things to do recently is going to wineries with my friend group and getting a flight. I love this because you get to try a bunch of the winery's unique favorites that might not have caught your eye originally. This is actually how I found a red wine that I absolutely fell in love with, which is rare because like I said previously, I’m more of a white wine drinker. In closing, I’m really excited to expand my knowledge of wine and see how that translates into my regular life.
Cheers!
Makenna
