Learn what you need to know about wine-in a single evening Though more and more Americans enjoy wine each year, many still feel intimidated by the subject. The image of the wine snob - swirling glass in hand, taking luxurious sniffs, and spouting obscure factoids about the vintage - persists, making the rest of us feel lost in a seemingly elite world. In fact, anyone and everyone can appreciate wine. The Learning Annex Presents the Pleasure of Wine is a straightforward guide that squeezes a seminar's worth of information into a book and answers questions such as: * What are the different types of wine? * What kinds of wine come from France, Italy, North America, Australia and New Zealand, South Africa, and South America? * How do I taste wine, and how do I pair wine with food? * What are some fun ways to integrate wine into my life? Full of sidebars and other special features, The Learning Annex Presents the Pleasure of Wine gives you the tools and knowledge you need to select, judge, and enj oy wine - and all in a single night's reading
This book is a fast and fun read. The subject of wine is typically a coffee table piece - boring and dull. The author's do a great job of making the information come together. Great maps, sideboards, and other useful information is highlighted throughout each chapter. The lessons are fast - about 5 minutes each and allowed me to read the book in a few days. I also think it is a great value. I'm much more confident picking out a wine and pairing it with food now. A must read for any up and coming businessperson - as wine is a great topic of conversation.
