Not every wine enthusiast has the time - or money - to sign up for weeks of wine classes in order to better understand what's in their glass.
According to sommelier Jörn Kleinhans, owner of the The Sommelier Company, they don't need to.
"I get so many phone calls where people have a hard time expressing what they're longing for," Kleinhans says. "They want to experience more and learn more, but it's hard for them to find the essential terms for what they're interested in."
To build that knowledge, Kleinhans recommends tasting a specific, broad collection of wines that are perfectly representative of their type to "get a really good overview of the classic wines of the world. We've found this has been an effective way to not only get an overview of the world of wine and an education on the flavors, but also helps identify what people really like."
He explains these aren't necessarily the best wines out there, and they certainly aren't the most expensive. The entire collection can be purchased for under $200.
"Each represents a distinct style and offering from the others," he explains, "so you can say with confidence you got the full education of wine flavors in one box."
Kleinhans recommends 10 wines:
