First Reads Review - Wineocology by Caitlin Stansbury
All right, here we go. I won this through the Goodreads First Reads program, and there are few things as good as getting a good book for free. And this is a good wine book. I have read other books on wine, and they have largely been a bit dry (pun intended!).

Great book. It took me a while to read because it is so dense with such good material but the author's writing style makes all the time spent an absolute joy. I've already been able to impress people with my hugely increased understanding of wine and can personally appreciate my stepped up enjoyment of the wine drinking experience.

Shines like a fine wine! This book is spectacular and what sets it apart from all other books in this genre, the writing. For example this little taste of the writing for you to enjoy:
"The more enticing a plant can make its fruit, the more likely it is to be gobbled up, seeds and all, by free-wheeling creatures, who will later distribute said seeds, along with a perfect load of growth-starting organic fertilizer, in some far-flung location."
Yes, you read that correctly she just made a bowel mo ...more

This book will surely capture the attention of people, young and old alike. Especially those just beginning to learn about the world of wine. It's a new, fresh and hip way to understand it all. What I liked about this book is that you learn without feeling like you've just sat down and read a text book. The author knows how to keep your interest. The Heart of the book is Caitlin Stansbury's Simple Sommelier System of sight, smell touch and taste. Brilliant. I'll be pulling this off the shelf on
