Wine Isn't Rocket Science: A Quick and Easy Guide to Understanding, Buying, Tasting, and Pairing Every Type of Wine

by Ophelie Neiman Author and Yannis Varoutsikos Author

Do you feel confounded by the long lists of unpronounceable names on the wine list every time you sit down at a fancy restaurant? Do you feel compelled to agree when others describe wines as tasting like asphalt or mud (even though that seems crazy!) for fear of revealing your lack of wine knowledge? Well, fear no more. This no-nonsense book pours wine  wisdom into sip-able segments so you can understand the process of wine-making and tasting from beginning to end. Learn  how soil conditions and sun exposure effect the flavor of the wine, and about the different varieties and what makes them unique. With Wine Isn't Rocket Science, you'll be prepared to order bottles for any occasion, and pair them expertly with whatever you're eating. Charmingly illustrated and accessible, this book makes a great gift, and a great introduction to the world of wine.
