All the wine wisdom you need to flabbergast your friends,astound your associates,amaze your acquaintances,and dumbfound your dates. Overall, I think this book would be a good start for beginning wine enthusiasts, and also for those who are a bit further along in the wine life. For several years, I’ve been fortunate enough to be a wine writer and educator. My columns appear in weekly and monthly publications, and quite a few of them have piled up.As I looked over the topics I’ve covered – the wine grapes, the places they’re grown, and the people who actually make wine – it occurred to me that if I put them all together, they’d collectively form a pretty decent overview of the wine world itself.
