Excellent Reference on Wine Basics

It is unfortunate that this book is currently out of print, although it is still worth the effort to locate a used copy. I really know very little about wines, except for a limited knowledge about Gallo. Because I was interested in learning about Italian wines, I sought a copy of this book. This book covers all of the basics, from how to take care of wine to the different types, and which ones go with what foods. I was surprised to learn that no wine goes well with artichokes, and if it were not for the book, I might have blamed the wine for the metallic taste that arises from that combination. Another impression feature of the book is its section on the world wine regions. Readers can learn much about the different types of wines grown around the world. Therefore, this is certainly a book worth reading before traveling and fully experiencing a culture.

One of the best books about wine!

It is one of best books on wines that I have already read. It is clearly and objective and its information are coherent. It also contains good tips.
