...of being an audio equipment reviewer - I got to listen to pretty much anything I wanted to determine what worked well together and what I liked.
So I know what you mean. I put myself through college bartending and it was quite an education in spirits.
But living in the SF Bay Area for 30 years - being an hour away from Napa, an hour and a half from Sonoma, with a weekend place in Santa Cruz - being able explore the wine from all of those areas doesn't leave a lot of time for the foreign grapes.
I always get advice at restaurants with heavy Italian or French wine lists but what I've found hasn't caused me to look much further.
