"Uncork It!" is worth the money , in exchange for the info.

"Uncork It!" helped me to be more confident in my knowledge regarding wine purchases and feeling that I can "hold my own" when conversing about different types of wine. I also became better at opening a bottle, (with grace and tact)when I followed Cathleen Michaels' directions, step by step. Easy and fun reading. Humor in the book, along with the illustrations, made reading enjoyable and the points clear. Helped remove some of my "phobias" of wine serving. I have always been a bit intimidated by wines, due to my lack of knowledge, and felt that a lot of "big books" out there in print, were way above my head and were unapproachable for me to even pick up and read. Learning about wine does not have to be just for those who are "in the know". I used what I had learned from reading "Uncork It!" at my own dinner party. My guests noticed I was confident when opening and serving the wine and commented on my ability (I felt pleased and proud that they noticed a difference)- of course, I told them about the book! I was also able to use the "appropriate lingo" to describe the wines we were drinking, remembering from the wine discriptions in the book. My dinner party was enjoyable and the conversation flowed and upbeat when discussing the basics about wine and our own feelings of buying and opening wine. I learned I was not the only person "afraid" of wine. This book helped me and my guests to open up to talking about our fears and I was able to encourage them from what I had read in "Uncork It!" Information in book is very applicable . You won't be disappointed!
