Hardback. Zustand: Good. There are wine encyclopedias, bibles, and guides this is not one of those books. It doesn t contain everything, just the really important stuff: the truly key wines, grapes, regions; tips about wine buying, aging, and storage; and useful explanations about tasting notes and whether or not vintages really matter. In short, this book covers the real absolutes that you need to know about wine.With the pithy wit that readers of her columns have come to expect, Lettie Teague breaks down the stumbling blocks that often intimidate us and clears up the myths that cloud our understanding. A series of mini-essays cover the essentials in a fun, omnibus fashion. The tone is sometimes irreverent, sometimes opinionated, but always practical. For instance, there are entries such as The Unbearable Oakiness of Being, Can Wedding Wine Be Good, and Why You Really Need Only One Glass. Other entries may provoke some lively debate, such as Men Are from Cab, Women Are from Moscato and In Defense of Wine Snobs. The opposite of a didactic textbook, this volume is not meant to be read from start to finish. Instead, like wine itself, it encourages small contemplative sips. It is a companion for the modern taster, a concise and curated collection of tidbits to satisfy anyone with a lively curiosity and palate. Wacso (illustrator).…
