Tom Stevenson provides practical guidelines on wine tasting, while an "author's choice" chart at the end of each section lists the very best wines. A star-rating system identifies the finest producers & highlights those offering the best value. A taste chart explains how to identify the flavors in a wine & a troubleshooter's guide spots common wine flaws. Whether you are a newcomer wanting to explore the pleasures of wine or a wine enthusiast looking for inspiration, "The New Sotheby's Wine Encyclopedia" is the book to consult again & again. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this EXCELLENT copy for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL (or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee) & to all international destinations via Mandatory USPS PRIORITY INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL at rates on request.
