Drink This: Wine Made Simple

If you've ever walked into a fancy restaurant, been handed a wine list, and been immediately confounded by the strange and unpronounceable names and the steep, STEEP prices, this book may just be the right one for you. Author and wine enthusiast Dara Moskowitz Grumdahl sets out to teach you what you need to know about wine so that you'll learn what it is that you like in a bottle, and so that you will be immune to the intimidation tactics deployed by many a restaurant sommelier in their quest to get you to order the priciest bottle on the menu. Learn how to taste and savor wine, pick out the strange flavor notes that critics like to bandy about (who knew wine could taste like asphalt??), and even understand the wine making process and how different wines acquire their unique flavors. An excellent introductory guide for folks looking to learn more about wine and understand how to pick the bottle that will best suit their tastes.
