Lots of info, fun to read, no condescension

It's easy to find information about wine; dozens of books are available. But it would be hard to find one as practical, accessible, and fun to read as Simply Wine. Some reviews say it's an introduction for novices, which is true, but it offers more than that. Simply Wine is filled with tips about shopping strategies, choices, tastings, varietals, and labels. Yorkshire's conversational tone and sense of humor add to the book's appeal, and the graphics and format are designed to keep you turning the pages. I recommend it for anyone interested in wines.
An everyman's (and woman's) guide to good wine.

Do you like drinking wine but feel intimidated by the culture of wine lovers? This is a great book for you--a straightforward, thoroughly unpretentious and honest book about a subject that's too often obscured by snobbery.
An easy way to learn wine basics, and more!

I had already read Heidi Yorkshire's Wine Savvy, so I was skeptical about reading her newest book of wine basics, Simply Wine. I'm glad I did. Together, these books are a great basic wine education. They each stand up well on their own, too. Yorkshire's style is so friendly and accessible you forget you're reading about a topic where conversation is usually dominated by intimidating and sometimes snotty know-it-alls. I feel more prepared for my upcoming trip to France, but also for my next trip to the wine store.
