I Wish I Liked Wine

News has just broken this week that 3 Pacific Northwest wineries have been named to the Top 15 wineries in the country by The Daily Meal.  Which is no particular surprise…  I hear nothing but good things about the wine scene here in the area.  Essentially every one of my long-term friends makes a weekend out of hitting up the wineries, and some of them definitely know what they’re talking about.

The thing is…  I don’t like the stuff.

And I wish I did!  There are so many great things about living here that I’m just not that into.  I don’t really care for craft beers, I don’t smoke weed, I violently hate coffee, and the thing I regret the most is…  I don’t like the taste of wine.  There are so many cool ways to spend a chill afternoon as an adult…  hanging around a fire with friends, going on wine tours, or even just a nice dinner party with some nice pairings.  But I don’t like the taste of it.  Red or white…  it doesn’t do anything for me.  I think I could grow to like beer, I think I could get used to coffee…  but I just have no taste for wine.  I’ve never had one that I enjoyed even a little bit.  I’ve had to choke down a glass or two for special occasions, and I’m always doing just that…  choking it down.

Any tips for me?  I’d like to find a way in…
