What exactly makes a wine enthusiast a "snob"?
We hear the term all the time, but the exact definition seems kind of vague and shapeless. Beyond merely insulting someone, what do you really mean when you call someone this?I'd like to hear from both people who are knowledgeable about wine and people who aren't, for different perspectives. And by all means, feel free to psychoanalyze and speculate on the other side too At the same time, I ask you to also ponder, what makes someone who is knowledgable and or passionate about ANYTHING a " snob" about their given interest what makes someone a widget snob rather than a widget lover, when does love of widgets become combative or divisive ?If mere knowledge of a subject is snobbery, then every damn one of us is a snob about something, so then what's the point of labeling someone a snob?Actually my question was inspired after reading someone else's question, where many responders accused her of being a snob I felt the accusations were warrantless, got peeved, and voila, asked this question lol.

Any wine enthusiasts that can give me some details and thoughts on wine essence kits?
My boyfriend has newly found love of wine and can't fill his head with enough knowledge on the subject. I have seen these kits, " wine essence kits" , that are made to enhance the understanding of all the different components of wine tasting...as I am sure you know. Which leads to my question, would you recommend such kits to a wine lover with an already fairly refined palate? And if so, they range in size and cost from 17 70 essences and $50 $400, so what should I look for when considering my purchase?

What's your favorite drink? (Alcoholic) - Red Wine enthusiasts please answer too.?
If it's red wine, please give grape type and company name & year thanks

Wine enthusiasts: What is your personal opinion of wines made from kits at home or in wine-kit stores where...
... you go and bottle it yourself?

Sweet Wines for a Non-Wine Enthusiast?
Ok up front I will say I am NOT a wine enthusiast. I am young 21 and I am working on trying to find a wine I like. Several friends and family have been inviting me to wineries for tastings or little outings, and I would really like to go and be able to try something other than water I have tried Chardonnay, Lambrusco, and a white Zinfindale. I am NOT at all turned on by these wines thus I have been told to head for the sweets. After some research I'm really interested in the dessert wines I plan on buying a few different types before I go to the winery so I'm looking for common brands and such. Any help would be appreciated The sweeter the better

Wine Enthusiasts: Santa Barbara Wine Trail vs Paso Robels?
I've been wine tasting near Santa Barbara Solvang, Los Olivos, etc and me and my girlfriend absolutely loved it. With that said we are going to make another wine tasting trip this summer and we were looking at Paso Robels. So my question is has anybody been to both and how would you rate Paso Robels compared to the Santa Barbara area.
