I work in the liquor trade and I do lots of research for work. Now I find myself almost complusively researching my own cellars.

I like to do the research after. If the wine comes from a good region (Southern France, Italy, California or Australia), I will give it a chance.
I don't like to listen to other's opinions when it comes to what tastes good. I am very picky, and I doubt that my tastes match the majority of wine drinkers.
By researching afterwards, I get to ignore the bad reviews of wines, so I end up trying more things than I would have before.

I've been collecting, appreciating and drinking fine wines for over 20 years. It is a hobby that has turned into an avocation. I'm constantly looking for the next best thing by reading and tasting.
I'm glad I got into collecting in the early 80's, and I'm upset because wine prices have risen so dramatically. I'm excited that there are so many exceptional wines being produced in Spain, Italy and the Antipodes.
Before my kids, I was able to travel to explore and taste; now, the wines have to come to me.

I do it by accident. I do a lot of reading of food publications for work and although I'm in means a wine collector, I guess when I see something in the store when looking for even a cheap wine for cooking (yeah yeah, I know), if a name pops out at me I buy it because I've heard of it.
Plus, my husband has made many of the labels you see on the bottles. It helps with my name recognition because he tells me about the people and place behind them.

appropriate way is to style it and learn it. learn the classic and how sturdy that 12 months exchange into. could be a great wine, however the 12 months your attempting to purchase it rained too plenty-then not so sturdy. in case you do in comparison to wine spectator attempt Robert Parker then. Get some great wine advice and innovations.

I do both.
Often times I'll make a list of things that look interesting and then bring that list home and research it.
Other times, I'll attend a tasting, buy what I like, and then research it to see if I agreed with the so-called 'experts'.
Both ways are fun. : )

my fiance is a winemaker and so i find myself researching by getting the cork screw and so i tend to research while i am enjoying the wine. sometimes i will buy a bottle just to taste it and see if it is good.

Before, unless the deal is too good to pass up. Then I cross my fingers, hope for the best, and check it out later. Bottoms up!

i remember doing both. if you buy wines from areas like michigan, then you might not find a lot of info ahead of time. that's good or bad.
