Customer Reviews

Excellent beginners book and handy carry around.

This book has excellent information for beginners and also it is a good book to have handy at all times. It has all around information about wine and has tables on grape varieties and the paring of wine and food. It is an easy read, but plenty of information.

A no-nonsense guide

I picked up this book because of the size and texture of the cover. Little did I know that beneath this inviting exterior was a gem of a book.Although it is geared toward restaurant servers, anyone wishing to gain knowledge about wine, wine-producing regions, and drinking wine will appreciate the clear, no-nonsense approach by author Brian Smith.-Dan
