Summary: Good Basic Understanding
Review: Reading this book I acquired a basic understanding of how to order and buy wine. It's based on knowing the difference between the grapes and focuses on taste. The book also has a ton of great recipes that are paired with different wines. The author has an easy style that makes the book interesting to read. I keep it among my favorite cookbooks for quick reference.

Summary: wine and great recipes
Review: though wine can be intimidating, this book reveals that a little knowledge can indeed go a long way. paired with judy's recipes, which are great on their own, of course, they also give you a sense of which foods go with which wines. and that knowledge alone is indispensible! i recommend this to anyone curious about the fruit of the vine or what to serve with their favorite bottle.
