Summary: The "Wine" book to own
Review: I bought this book after months of searching for a wine book that was both interesting to read and one that provides informative views and knowledge to a new wine lover. I would suggest this book to anyone interested in learning more about wine and the world surrounding it.

Summary: Useful Information in an Easy to Read Format
Review: I was in a wine shop yesterday and recognized labels and understandood descriptions that would have been foreign to me prior to reading this book a few weeks ago. I have only read this book once with a few cursory reviews for specific information, but the amount of information I retained really suprised me. I did have some prior knowledge of wine, but nothing that would tag me as anything beyond a novice. I chalk up the fact that I retained so much information to the authors' excellent writing style. I've attempted to read other wine books by noted authors and none was able to hold my persistent interest. This is the only wine book I've read that actually had me looking forward to the next page. The layout and format are such that it's almost impossible not to learn something useful. Information on price ranges vs. expectations, labels to look for, grape/wine type descriptions, and what countries and regions produce what wine is all logically accessible.

Review: the authors have a great sense of humor: reading the book without skipping a word will result in your being unable to control your facial muscles...occasionally.

Summary: Everything I needed to know
Review: This is a great book for the beginning wine enthusiast. If you like wine but what to know more this is a great place to start. It is easy to read and contains just the right amount of information without going to exacting detail that will cause you to just go have a good beer instead. I also is addressed to the $10.00 a bottle wine buyer rather than the $100.00 a bottle person. So read it and experiment and enjoy.
