I know this guy who is a GM at a restaurant and has wine tasting classes at a local adult ed shop. He has a simple approach to wine education: Drink More. I've gotten good results by chatting up the guys in wine shops that are out looking for good wine cheap. Any idiot with money can buy an expensive bottle, but it takes skill to find a good one cheap. The pros will take pride in their ability to sniff out the gems.
Tokaji is a Hungarian sweet wine made by combining dry and sweet wine in differing amounts, using a system called puttonyos that numbers from 1 to 6, the higher number the sweeter the wine. My grandfather was a big fan, and I think I inherited some of his bad habits.
