One of the hardest things to do when it comes to wine is choosing a bottle to purchase. WHY are there so many choices?! If you feel overwhelmed when buying wine, you are not alone. 

When I first started buying wine I always chose the same bottle because I knew I loved it. It was in my comfort zone. But the thing was. I was missing out on so many amazing options! And I don’t want you to miss out on all of the options because you don’t know what questions to ask.

Today, I have tips to share on how to easily buy a great bottle of wine both from a small wine shop and from your local grocery/liquor store or big box store like Total Wine or Bevmo.

I’ll share with you scripts that I use when I go into small wine shops to ask for help without feeling overwhelmed! I’ll also teach you what three things you need to know about your wine and how to use those pieces of information to find a new wine you’ll love at your local grocery/liquor store.
