Happy Friday Everyone!

Has there ever been any thought to capture all of the years of wine knowledge, tasting notes, etc into 1 comprehensive post for use by those relatively new to wine (like me)? I search through these forums and find out little tidbits of knowledge here and there (best QPR wines, wines for a special occasion, etc.) and it reminds me of a section of Kevin Zraly's Windows on the World Complete Wine Course (which I was given very early on to acclimate myself to wine) where he separates out suggestions for everyday wines (<$10), every week wines ($10-20), once a month wines ($20-50), and so on. Is there such a repository of information in this forum? If not, I vote it be created because I have learned so much in my short time here and every suggestion, no matter how esoteric the name or locale seems to me, has been spot on.

Thanks.

Well also, I cant say I ever drink sub $10 wines. I find it really, really hard to find good wines at those price point. My weekday wines are usually $10-20. My nice weekend wines are $20-80, and my rare special wines are either >$100 or really, really hard to find in the USA.

And I'm sure there are some here and on berserkers that could easily drink $50+ wines on a daily basis.
