Do you love wine, but always buy bottles at random? Or are you afraid to branch out from the few types you know you like? Then this book is for you. It's a bright, bold, visual guide that cuts through the complexities of wine to focus on what the casual drinker needs to know.
You'll quickly figure out what you like, why you like it and how to describe that to other people, especially the clerk in your local wine shop.
You'll also discover wines you've (probably) never tried before, but definitely should, plus the best pairings, tasting tips and more,
· How to smell and taste wine like a pro · What words like “acidic,” “tannic” and “dry” mean · How to read a wine label (and what words to keep an eye out for) · What a decanter is, and why you should use one · What a “dessert” wine is
Featuring insights and advice from wine experts Adam Teeter ( VinePair ), Kevin Zraly ( Windows on the World ), Paul Grieco (Terroir), Yannick Benjamin (University Club), Rupal Shankar and sommelier Courtney Schiessl, Find Your Wine is a bright, informative and unpretentious introduction to the world of wine.
I bought this book just because every time my family and I had a special occasion/celebration, we never knew which wine to buy. It’s more than just red wine = meat and white wine = fish. It also covers rosé and dessert wines. It has quite a lot of details. Good book for someone who has little to no knowledge regarding wines.
What a fun book. It made me want to hop on a jet and start tasting wines. However, I did come to my senses and only went to the local liquor store where I did try a new wine for dinner with friend.
