The advanced wine class

Well, there I was in my advanced wine class. Today was the first class. In a way I felt a bit out of place since I am  by no means a wine snob, but I was there for the experience. We tried a multitude of California wines, only a couple of which I actually liked. As I sat there listening to the others discussing the cherries and blackberries they tasted, I started to wonder; will I ever really get it? I didn't taste afternotes of cherries or blackberries or whatever. I tasted wine, nothing more. Meh. Maybe if I get my sniffer to work right, maybe I'll get it?
