The Eleven Stages of Wine Geekdom:

1. GENESIS: Have an epiphany wine that makes you want to get more serious about wine.2. CONFUSION: Realize that there are so many bewildering choices that it is difficult to decide what to buy.3. DISCIPLESHIP: Start following the ratings of a respected wine critic as a guide to what to buy.4. COGNITIVE DISSONANCE: Do your best to tell yourself that you are actually enjoying all the highly rated wines you are drinking.5. AWAKENING: Realize that taste in wine is subjective and you need to determine for yourself what you like.6. RAGE: What the **** am I going to do with all this wine I bought that I don't actually like?7. DINNER PARTIES: Unload the wine on friends at no-wine-geek dinner parties. They will be impressed as the wines are highly rated.8. THE QUEST: Taste, taste, and taste some more to see what regions, producers and vintages you like.9. ENLIGHTENMENT: OMFG! Burgundy!10. DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL: OMFG these things are expensive.11. INNER PEACE: German Riesling! And cheap too!
