Memories from class: (First question asked in the semester in front of 400 of my closest friends: "So, how did you get your name? My wife and I just had a baby and named her Sabrina." "Ugh....ugh....(thinking: I'm only taking this class pass/fail...why are you bothering me)...ugh...They wouldn't let my mother leave the hospital until the named me."

Almost all of my knowledge about wine comes from this book. It has a lot of talk about the USA, this is quite irritating. But the knowledge in the book is mainly correct, sometimes a bit outdated information. But I enjoyed reading it and learning from it.
