What's the best method to learn about wines? I'm not much of a wine drinker (or a drinker, period) but my boss really wants to see me succeed in my new job in a liquor/wine store, and there are two new stores opening in the near area in the next year, so even if I don't get hired on full time following the holidays, (I'm currently just seasonal,) there's the possibility of more work in other local stores.
We carry a huge selection of wines, not only domestic but many from France, Germany, Italy, etc. Aside from the fact I can't pronounce half the names (how the heck do you pronounce those French wines anyway? Chassagne-Montrachet, Fieuzal, Gewurztraminer, for example). Any suggestions or directions to books/pubications/websites where I can learn more would be greatly appreciated.
