Customer Reviews

Cellaring and much more....

The title of this book is a little misleading, the book does cover selecting, building, and managing wine. However, this information only acocunts for about 1/4 of the book. The rest of the book talks about wine in general. The cellaring chapters were very detailed and answered all of my questions. The other 3/4 of the book was interesting and covered your basic intro to wine information. If you want to know more about wine, or are looking for a complete guide on different ways to cellar wine, then this book is for you.

Exactly what it says...

Jeff Cox has written a wonderful guide for cellaring wine which is nearly complete in all its details. More importantly, he has managed to write it in a way that is highly readable.

cellaring wine is indeed good

OK, it's refreshing to take the seriousness out of wine and show everybody that it's for their occasion. Putting all seriousness aside, though, wine is serious. If your willing to go out and buy and then read a book about it, then it's serious. Now this doesn't mean you should be afraid, it simply means wine is something worth experiencing and your more than eager. go for it, read this book, and more importantly drink the wine. If you, like me, are already past GO then don't slow down for this book. Read this book without expectations of rising to connoisership and read it before your glass gets half full.
