Anyone care to give me a rundown on Wine Tasting etiquette? I went to my first one this weekend and felt like a lost retard. The water between varieties of wine. Drink, spit, what? I've heard to spit the wine out as you drink, rather than actually consume. Yes, no? What other stupid poo poo did I likely do / should I avoid? I had fun, but want to know a bit more for the next time.

Fortunately I live in a part of Virginia that is _really_ close to all the Virginia vineyards, so while I obviously need to expand beyond local wines, it's a great place to do some tastings / dates. Should I try to hit wine specialty shops over vineyards for tastings?

Any good books to teach me more about wines / whatever? Internet is scary and I can only do so many tastings and whatnot. Plus I have a 1hr busride twice a day, may as well.
