Wine As A Career

I'm considering becoming a wine connossieur or even winemaking as a career. However I'm wondering if that would be an expensive career, that is, there are more costs than profits.

What is your take on this?

My girlfriend and I, enjoy relaxing in front of the TV, drinking a bottle of "Hogue, Late Harvest White Riesling," which is a fairly sweet, white wine.
We've also enjoyed a "White Merlot'" but it seems to give us minor headaches after consuming the entire bottle, which is nothing to a wine drinker.
We have acquire a taste for white wines over red wines. We enjoy drinking wine with pizza, cheese spread and ritz crackers, pork chop, chicken breasts, and etc.

seems like it would be a hard field to get into but if you love it pursue it =)

I have a student in AZ who owns a vinyard, so if you'd like to chat with him, let me know.

I saw a woman on T.V. (a cooking show) who was a wine sommelier (expert at pairing wines with food). She was young--early 20's. I think it would be an interesting career.

Have you been to a wine tasting. They have them occasionally at Sugos and every weekend at Wolfe Vinyard in N. GA--45 minutes up 400.

I don't know that much about wine. When I do have a glass, I much prefer red. Most of it tastes so bitter, but there are those select few that don't shock your taste buds. This is kinda off topic, but I would love to bike throuogh Napa Valley one day!

I'd very much like to chat with this person. I'll look into the wine sommelier career option when I can. And unfortunately, I've never been to a wine tasting but it sounds interesting!

If that is a career that you are really interested in. I say go for it. Personally I am not a real wine drinker. My boyfriend, from Belgium and he loves vine. He has open my eyes to many different kinds of wines but I am still not a big fan.
