A Lighthearted Look at the World of Wine Wine has been on people's tongues as long as human culture has had taste buds and language. Poets from Homer to Omar Khayam, from Shakespeare to Cole Porter have sung its praises, their glasses held high.
Many people know a bit about wine.
A few people know quite a bit about wine. Most people who know about wine enjoy it, and it seems that the more you know about wine the more you enjoy it-up to a point. They're called wine snobs, and for them the enjoyment of wine is secondary to the enjoyment of knowing more than whomever they're talking to. Cork Millner is not a wine snob, even if he knows more about wine than most people-including most wine snobs. What Cork knows most about wine is that it's fun, and like the rest of life, there's a lot of humor involved.
