How do I suck less at wine drinking?

I've been to Napa/Sonoma. I've visited several local wineries and am slowly learning that I like super dry reds, I can tell two buck Chuck tastes like rubbing alcohol and I'm currently on an educated guess brand wine kick.

But, when I tasted several samples of incredibly expensive and reserved wines in Sonoma, I couldn't tell the difference between that and my $15 bottles at home. Friends and people around me were talking about the notes that they get on the nose and on the backend, and were genuinely enjoying the experience. I love wine, but not enough to discern it to that level I suppose.

Does my tongue just suck or is there a technique to more fully enjoying the subtlety of wine flavors?

What's the difference between this and something that's already on the market like the Sony 5k mAh portable charger I've already got? Looks like there's already a ton of products on the market that support the qi wireless standard and right out of the box my nexus 5 and experia both worked on it. Are you using the Qi standard or something else altogether?

edit: Just read the details of your kickstarter. Looks like this is basically a qi charger sewn into a sleeve? What are the dimensions? My concern would be maybe my nexus will fit but my wife's note wouldn't.

I missed your concert last time you were in denver! When are you coming back, and can my wife and I meet you? We're huge fans

i'm a front end engineer that's been interested in perhaps moving to google boulder when you launch next year, but am curious about google's culture. The few time's i've been to the googleplex while out at facebook or twitter for business, i've been unsuccessful in getting a tour.

What should I or any other engineer that is interested in seeing what a day in the life of a googler do to look behind the veil?
